Project Runeberg (runeberg.org) is a volunteer effort to create free electronic editions of classic Nordic (Scandinavian) literature and make them openly available over the Internet. It was founded in 1992 and is based at LYSATOR, the students' computer club at Linköping University in Linköping, Sweden.

What we have is already the Internet's biggest center for Nordic literature. With the help of volunteers like you, our goal is to double our collection every year. How can you help us? Learn more about Project Runeberg, browse our catalog, join our mailing list, try our discussion forum, send e-mail to the editors@runeberg.org or donate money to LYSATOR's Swedish PlusGiro 885669-2 or by international SWIFT bank transfer to BIC = NDEASESS, IBAN = SE59 9500 0099 6042 0885 6692.

Vi har redan Internets största samling av nordisk litteratur. Med hjälp av frivilliga som dig, har vi målsättningen att fördubbla samlingen årligen. Hur kan du hjälpa till?

Map of Scandinavia with Halland
Map of Scandinavia with Halland (CC-SA)

Halland revisited

Halland is a province in the south-west of the Scandinavian peninsula, that belonged to Denmark until it was leased to Sweden for 30 years in the peace treaty of Brömsebro in 1645. This month we have scanned some books describing the province, and also want to remind you of some that we already had online:

Some writers from Halland (green means free from copyright): August Bondeson, Carl Bildt, Olof von Dalin, Elsa Grave, Jacob Richardson, Fredrik Ström, Gustaf Ullman, Fredrik Vetterlund.

Gustav Vasas rustning, ur
Bilder av märkligare föremål i
kungl. livrustkammaren

Who died in 1936?

Who died in 1936? Well, certainly not the tin man to the right. That's the armour of Sweden's 16th century king Gustav Vasa. This is one of many objects on display at the Royal Armoury (Livrustkammaren) in Stockholm, described and depicted in the recently digitized book Bilder av märkligare föremål i kungl. livrustkammaren (1927).

The copyright of a book expires when the author has been dead for 70 years. With every new year, a new harvest of fallen authors' literature becomes available to free Internet publishing. Now in 2007 we have free access to works by authors who died in 1936. So who died in 1936? Are there any books we should digitize? You can find out who they are by searching our database of Nordic Authors.

For non-Scandinavian authors, such as Rudyard Kipling and Maxim Gorky who both died in 1936, we will also have to respect the death year of any named translators.
