Welcome to
Library Swedenborg

In our collections there are also books about theology from the 17th century onwards, above all things that influenced or were influenced by Swedenborg's thinking. Our endeavor is to systematize our collections and archives so that they become accessible to researchers and the general public interested in the subject. We want to be a window and a meeting place for those who have a deep as well as a superficial interest in Emanuel Swedenborg, his writing, his significance during his lifetime and in the present.

History

Since the first year of the 19th century, Swedenborgian organizations have had a book collection. After Swedenborg's Memorial Church was inaugurated in 1927, part of the book collection was moved here to Tegnérlunden 7.
In addition to our own register of our collections, we collaborate with the university library Swedenborg Library at Bryn Athyn College in the USA. Thus, we also have access to their computerized library register, which can be accessed through us.
Most of our collections are in Swedish, English and Latin, but many other languages are also represented
