Abstract

Roma people have been present in Sweden for at least 500 years. The first members of the group today known as Swedish Roma arrived in the late 1800s, and during a large part of the 1900s they were forced to a nomadic lifestyle. The purpose of this project is to highlight this part of history, in collaboration with Roma associations, focusing on camp sites and life stories during the 1900s and to incorporate this cultural heritage into Swedish public collections at the Swedish History Museum and the Institute for Language and Folklore. The project will combine ethnological interviews with archaeological excavations, and will involve questions about multiculturalism and interaction between Roma and the majority Swedes.
