Swedish-Canadian research collection
The collection consists of research material created or collected by Olof Seaholm pertaining to Swedish immigration and organizations to Canada and North America.

Textual records in this collection include minute books, clippings, a constitution, correspondence, research notes, newspaper and magazine issues and clippings, books, and photographs documenting Swedish communities in British Columbia and research material about Swedish activities in North America.
