The complete Swedish Bible is now on-line!

One of the first things that were published in Project Runeberg was a list of all the chapter headings from the Swedish Bible from 1917. This was sometime before October 1993. Since then, about twenty persons have worked together to enter the entire text. In March 1996, one major mile-stone in that task was completed.

There are, however, more tasks left before the Swedish Bibel edition is finished. Most of the text has not been proofread yet.

Sweden's Most Popular Web Site?
Your Vote Makes the Difference!

Lysator is one of 20 nominees, when three Swedish computer magazines team up to arrange the annual Swedish Web Championships. The readers' votes make the verdict. If you like Project Runeberg, then vote for Lysator! You must vote before April 17th.

Of course, you should take your time to visit our competitors' sites aswell. Our good friend Karl-Erik Tallmo operates Art Bin, a very interesting cultural site. Also nominated is Karin Boye Sällskapet, a literary society with which we cooperate.

Keep in mind that Lysator is a lot more than just Project Runeberg. Visit Lysator's front page to find out! In February 1993, Lysator was Sweden's first web server, and among the first dozen in the world (we believe!). The Swedish Web Site Championships (Sajt-SM) was arranged for the first time in 1995 and the winner was - Lysator.

3 Years of Project Runeberg

On March 6th, 1993, Project Runeberg was first announced outside Lysator. It had then existed since December 1992. The first newspaper article about us was in Helsingin Sanomat on March 18th. Read more about Project Runeberg.

Can you use Project Runeberg at School?

In 1996 we hope and believe that Project Runeberg will be used in schools at all levels. We are looking for ways to help teachers and students in this, and we need your ideas! We already know that C A M Lindman's Illustrated Nordic Flora (in Swedish: Bilder ur Nordens Flora) is a popular item.

We hope that our index of Nordic Authors will grow to become a full-scale encyclopedia. This will strengthen the role of Project Runeberg as the Internet's most important Nordic literature resource. We invite literary societies who want information published about their Nordic authors.

Lysator's web server is sponsored by Sun Microsystems

[ R ]Project Runeberg, founded in December 1992, is an open and voluntary initiative to create and collect free electronic editions of classic Nordic literature and art, coordinated from Lysator computer society at Linköping University, Sweden.
