The ground it holds
Record regions whose registers are filed here, and for which years.
- 1637–1815 Swedish Pomerania in the west; Brandenburg-Prussia in the east — THE FORGOTTEN TRAP. Western Pomerania was SWEDISH from 1648 to 1815, so its administrative records of those years can be in Stockholm rather than Berlin or Szczecin — which almost nobody thinks to check.
- 1561–1721 Sweden in the north, the Duchy of Courland in the south
- 1686–1860 Sweden
- 1860–1947 Sweden
- 1947–2026 Sweden
- 1686–1809 Sweden — the eastern half of the realm
