 Sweden - Skanska generalguvernementskansliets arkiv: UNESCO-CI
The two archival fonds of Skånska Generalguvernementet (the administration of the governor-general of Skåne) from 1658-1693 originate from the regional Swedish civil and military administration of the provinces Skåne, Halland and Blekinge, which were conquered by Sweden from Denmark in 1645 and 1658.
The fonds are of great value as historical sources, since they reflect a period of transition from Danish to Swedish rule and the establishment of the new Swedish civil and military administration.
This was achieved not at least through the well balanced policy of the regional administration, who often took sides for the provinces against the central government.
