Kyrkhult, Sweden Microfiche Center Closes

The microfiche research center in Kyrkhult, Bekinge closed April 27, 2006. This sad event was caused by a decreasing number of visitors and growing costs.
Unfortunately, this important information is lacking on its English-language web page (www.arkivcentrum.nu/), but found on the Swedish pages.

It is possible that the microfiche collection, which was rented from the Swedish National Archives, may be placed in the Regional Archives (landsarkivet) in Lund, and thus available in southern Sweden.

From the December, 2005 edition of the Swedish-American Genealogist.
