* SVAR is a special section of Riksarkivet (RA) that is responsible for making archival materials (e.g., Swedish parish records on microfiche) accessible to family history researchers. In 1990 an agreement was reached between SVAR and the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center, Rock Island, IL, whereby all sales of SVAR microfiche to North Americans must be made through the Swenson Center (see Swedish Genealogy links).
