National Archive Marieberg

The National Archive Marieberg is an office building in Stockholm that stores extensive government documents, official records, and state materials. The collections reach from the sixteenth century to the present day.

The National Archives of Sweden was founded in 1618 through a Chancellor's Order by Axel Oxenstierna, marking the start of organized record keeping. This establishment created a system that would preserve the nation's documents for generations.

The archive holds documents from many parts of Swedish society including government bodies, the military, and personal collections. These materials tell the story of how the nation developed over the centuries.

Visitors need to register upon arrival and store personal items in lockers before entering the reading rooms. It helps to submit document requests ahead of time to make your visit more efficient.

The archive holds a parchment missal from the tenth century, one of the oldest religious texts on record. It also contains the Novgorod occupation archives from 1611-1617, documenting how this region was administered under Swedish rule.
