Swedish Emigrant Institute, Migration research center in Växjö, Sweden.
The Swedish Emigrant Institute contains extensive collections of documents, photographs, and artifacts related to Swedish migration patterns throughout history.
Founded in 1965, the institute preserves records and memorabilia of Swedish emigration, particularly focusing on the mass movement to North America during the 19th century.
The institute maintains Wilhelm Moberg's complete source materials from his Emigrant Series, including original manuscripts and research documents about Swedish-American experiences.
Researchers can access parish records, passenger lists, church archives, letters, and census reports to trace their Swedish ancestry through dedicated research facilities.
The building features an exhibition about Swedish passengers on the Titanic, including a watch that stopped at the exact moment of the ship's sinking.
