Main scientific activities

• Most of my research is closely connected to the historical heritage that Sweden has from its contacts with the Russian Empire in past centuries - a heritage that is manifested in the biggest collections of older Russian documents that exist outside of Russia. Between 1995 and 2009, I was working on the project Novgorodiana Stockholmiensia, which resulted in a catalogue of the so-called Novgorod Occupation Archives, which are kept at the National Archives in Stockholm.
• Watermarks in the Inspection books of the Novgorod Occupation Archives (conncted with a larger project, which has started in Sankt Petersburg).
• "Kosjkin's Phrase Book". Publication of the first Russian-Swedish phrase book, created in the 1690s for Russian merchants who were trading in Stockholm.
• "The Palmquist Album". Edition of a travel account from an embassy to Moscow in 1673-1674.
