Regional Archives In Lund




The Regional Archives in Lund, ''Landsarkivet i Lund'', is located in Lund and is one of the Regional Archives in Sweden, responsible for keeping records of local and regional government authorities in the historical provinces Scania , Blekinge and Halland , with exception of Malmö which is handled by the Malmö City Archives .

The archive was established in 1903 in a brick building drawn by Carl Möller in what was then the outskirts of Lund. A large extension to this building was made in 1971, drawn by Berndt Nyberg . Later on the Regional Archives needed new space teamed up with several other archives in the region and built a new archive facility called Arkivcentrum Syd on Gastelyckan in south-eastern Lund.

The first ''landsarkivarie'' (regional archivist) was Lauritz Weibull , who served until he was appointed professor at Lund University in 1919. He was then succeeded by one of his brothers, Carl Gustaf Weibull , who held the position until 1946.
