Annual reviews
We undertake annual reviews of Polmanarkivet’s work, providing a snapshot of our activities of the past year.
Policies
Collection policy
The Collection was established in 2023 when Polmanarkivet purchased 12 manuscripts from the 17th and 18th centuries, including receipts, letters, inheritance documents, and promissory notes. Of particular interest were seven mortgage notes from 1697, all signed and sealed by Johann Ernst Heinrich von Oeynhausen (1653-1722) and his wife Susanna, née Pohlmann (1644-1728) in Hille, where the family originated. A further acquisition in 2024 included a vintage steel pen nib from Påhlmans handelsinstitut (originally Bröderna Påhlman), bringing the physical collection to 13 items. The Polmanarkivet Collection also includes hundreds of curated digital artefacts and objects from cultural institutions worldwide, spanning over five centuries of history.
This document details how this important body of work is cared for, how new material is acquired, and how access is provided to the public.
AI policy
Polmanarkivet uses AI across its work — in research, translation, transcription, and editorial production. This policy sets out where we use AI and where we don't, the principles that govern that use, and the reasoning behind our decisions. It is written for our readers, contributors, and fellow practitioners in archives, genealogy, and cultural heritage.
Questions and accountability
Polmanarkivet is committed to transparency about how we operate. If you have a question about our policies, our collections, or how we handle material entrusted to us, we want to hear from you.
