Central and special archives
Finland’s history and cultural heritage is documented in many different archives, museums and libraries. The collections cover government activities and individual and group microhistories. It is the job of the institutions to preserve documents, photos, film and images for future generations and promote their use in research.
Archives and museums are normally open to anyone interested in history. Archives can help genealogists, for example. More and more archive, library and museum collections are also available now in electronic format.
