Access to information is a prerequisite for democracy and knowledge building. The City Archives are involved in creating the transparent city and ensuring that the city's information is available to everyone, now and in the future.

The City Archives is responsible for preserving and making available information created in the City and County of Stockholm, both now and in the future. This assignment is based on the democratic right to access public documents, the need for information for the administration of justice and administration, and the needs of research.

It is the elected representatives in the Culture Committee who decide how the city should work in the field of archives. The City Archives will then implement the committee's decision.

Organisation

City Archivist Lennart Ploom leads the management team, which consists of unit managers, financial manager and business developer. The administration has six units.

The unit’s main task is to provide fast and good service to everyone who contacts the City Archives or uses its services.

We work on the basis of the principle of public access to information and handle inquiries through processing, investigations and help in the reading rooms. With our archival expertise and knowledge of the users’ needs, we make the archives accessible and help visitors find the right information.

The unit's mission is to ensure that the city's operations handle their information in accordance with the principle of public access to official documents and laws. This is done through supervision, advice and support. The unit is also responsible for ensuring that the archives at the City Archives and the archives that are received are searchable and accessible, which is done through careful archive management.

The unit provides support in communication and offers adapted programs and tours that demonstrate the benefits of archives for schools, the general public and professional groups.

The unit manages and develops three systems for the city: eDok, the e-archive and Diabas, and is responsible for the City Archives' IT operations.

Management support helps the administrative manager with business development, governance and follow-up. There are experts in economics, governance, law, information security and research.

The unit's mission is to provide efficient service to employees and tenants at the City Archives and to ensure that operations function and are safe. The unit is also responsible for renting out the City Archives' public meeting rooms.
