<h1> The Swedish National Archives </h1>
<p>
The Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) primarily manage the government record for future generations. Access to cultural heritage and authentic information that can be used for research, judicial matters and public transparency is fundamental to our democratic society. As a supervisory authority, we offer services, datasets and models related to our public task. 
</p>
<p>
We work primarily with Handwritten Text Recognintion, but also to a limited extent with historical language models that are shared here on Huggingface 🤗.
