<h1> The Swedish National Archives </h1>
<p>
The Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) primarily manage  government records for future generations. Access to cultural heritage and authentic information that can be used for research, judicial matters and public transparency is fundamental to our democratic society. As a supervisory authority, we offer services, datasets and models related to our public task. 
</p>
<p>
We work primarily with Handwritten Text Recognition, but also to some extent with historical language models. We share our training data and models here on Huggingface 🤗 and elswhere. If you would like to work to improve or just use our models we'd be grateful!
