They are organized by camp, according to the names of 111 camps, along with a series of ten volumes containing documents regarding various smaller camps. For instance, among the series of named camps are eight volumes on Doverstorp, 13 volumes on Robertshöjd I and II, 23 volumes on Rosöga, and four volumes on Skatås. These archives include indexes and brief registries detailing the refugees and survivors present in the camps, providing information such as nationality, age, arrival, and departure.
