Biographical History

The institution was created in 1874 but was, until 1925, called the Detective Police. In 1965, the Swedish police force was nationalized. With nationalization, the creator of the archive ceased to exist.

Archival History

The files of the criminal police were reorganized and cataloged in 1999.

Scope and Content

The archive includes the F7 series, which contains 12 volumes of extensive material on refugees and survivors, including survivors and refugees who arrived in Sweden during and after the Second World War. The documents from 1943-44 contain documents concerning refugees who came to Sweden from Denmark, including those who fled to Sweden in the autumn of 1943. Later documents concern refugees and survivors from other countries. The series also includes lists of survivors who came to Malmö using various boat transports and interrogation protocols.

Volume F7: 9 contains the Malmö police's alphabetically arranged interrogation protocols, including those of the survivors who arrived in 1945.

Conditions Governing Access

Some documents in the archive may be subject to confidentiality. An assessment will be carried out by the archive before the documents are disclosed.
