About SLBA

According to Swedish Legal Deposit law one copy must be sent to the archive. The long-term goal is to collect, preserve and disseminate the complete Swedish production of recorded sound and moving images. We are happy to answer questions about our medias and everyone is welcome to use our catalogues and our reference library. It is also possible to order and listen to music from our collections.

The greater part of the archived material is for copyright reasons only available for research on site in Stockholm or as an interlibrary loan service on approximately 30 places in the country. It is also possible to make reservations from the corresponding archives in Denmark and Norway.

The Swedish National Archive of Recorded Sound and Moving Images employs 90 people.
