Riksantikvarieämbetet

Riksantikvarieämbetet is the Swedish national heritage authority responsible for leading and supporting efforts to preserve, use, and develop the cultural heritage. It addresses the need for coordinated management of cultural environments and heritage data across Sweden, providing guidance and infrastructure for museums, researchers, and public institutions.

The authority offers several digital search services for heritage information, including Arkivsök, Bebyggelseregistret, Fornsök, Kringla, and Runor. It provides support for digitalisation of cultural heritage collections and data, as well as resources for research infrastructure, crisis preparedness for heritage objects, and guidance on integrating cultural environments into municipal planning. The organisation also manages the Antikvarisk-topografiska arkivet and Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek, and operates the medieval fortress Glimmingehus as a public museum.

This service is designed for professionals working with cultural heritage, including museum staff, researchers, municipal planners, and others responsible for heritage collections and environments. As a government agency, Riksantikvarieämbetet provides its resources and search services as part of its public mission, without a commercial pricing structure or free trial.
