Welcome to Archives Day at our museum storage facility, Garvaren!
This year’s theme is Man and Technology. Humans seem to have an innate drive to continually improve technology. Windmills and watermills stand as monuments across the landscape, marking the evolution of milling grain into flour. Jan-Erik Broomé and Mats Persson, both active in Albo Härads Hembygdsförening, will share insights into historic windmills. They will also present a slideshow and discuss the detailed restoration work on the mill wheel at Hallamölla.
Visit the archives and discover your own history! Forgotten events, preserved documents that allow future generations to trace the past, and touching life stories are just a few reasons to explore the archives. Here you will find historical eyewitness accounts and the records that reveal how our contemporary world took shape.
Programme for the day:
11:00 AM – Guided tour of our archive.
12:30 PM – Presentation on windmills and watermills.
The event is organised in collaboration with Österlens Släkt- och folklivsforskarförening, who will be on site throughout the day to assist with genealogy research. Swedish fika will be available for purchase. Free admission. Limited seating; advance booking required.
