Digital reading room

The Digital Reading Room is a digital archive at the Center for Business History where we have collected images, books, articles and archive documents from 1845 to today. A real treasure trove for those who want to immerse themselves in form and design. Many researchers, journalists and students search the archive, but of course anyone is welcome to log in and revel in design history!

The amount of material in the digital reading room is constantly expanding. With a user account, which is free to create, you can immediately search a number of archives, mainly from historical companies that no longer exist. To search materials belonging to Svensk Form, permission is requested via the Center for Business History - just as it has always been done for searching physical deposits.
