The Media Archive (Mediearkivet) is a Nordic news archive with material from Swedish and Nordic newspapers and journals. The articles are made available the same day as they are published. Please note that when you search the database you are searching in the Media Archive database, not the source archive. Articles may therefore differ in appearance from the source website.

The database interface is only in Swedish.
