arkivmyndigheter

Arkivmyndigheter are government authorities responsible for the preservation and management of public records and documents in various countries, including Norway and Sweden. The primary function of these agencies is to ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of historical records, making them available for research and public access.

In Norway, the function of arkivmyndigheter is performed by the National Archives of Norway (Riksarkivet), which is responsible for the acquisition, preservation, and conservation of public records, including documents, photographs, films, and other materials. The National Archives also provides research facilities and expertise to support the study and use of these records.

Similarly, in Sweden, arkivmyndigheter fall under the jurisdiction of the National Archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet), which is responsible for the management of state records, documents, and other materials. This includes the preservation of official files, documents, and other records of historical significance, as well as the provision of research facilities and services.

The responsibilities of arkivmyndigheter typically include the acquisition and processing of new records, the conservation and preservation of existing records, and the provision of research facilities and expertise to users. These agencies also play a critical role in the development of archiving policies and standards, and in the promotion of the importance of records management and preservation.

The work of arkivmyndigheter is essential for the preservation of historical memory and the promotion of public knowledge and understanding of the past. By ensuring the long-term preservation and accessibility of public records, these agencies contribute to the development of a more informed and educated public.
