About Swedish Finn Historical Society

The Swedish Finn Historical Society was founded in 1991 by descendants of Swedish-speaking emigrants from Finland interested in preserving the cultural heritage of their families. There are now about 700 members from around the world in this unique organization.

Our mission is to gather and preserve the emigration history of Swedish Finns across the world, connect Swedish Finns to their roots in Finland, and celebrate our cultural heritage.

Our goal is to document every Swedish Finn emigrant, archive related materials, and fund a permanent home for these items in perpetuity. We will continue to celebrate our Swedish Finn heritage wherever descendants are located.
