Description
ArkivDigital is privately owned online repository of Swedish church records, taxation records, court records and other material of interest for family history research. Photos in color and high resolution improves readability, which is a great aid when handwriting is difficult and pages may be damaged.[1]
ArkivDigital has a number of useful person-related indexes:
- an index of household records 1800-1947
- indexes of births, marriage and death (coverage varies, with full coverage for some parishes, full coverage for births 1750-1840, almost full coverage for marriages 1750-1840 and full coverage for deaths 1750-1799.
- a number of other indexes, for example one for estate inventories
The service is provided on a subscription basis with subscription periods of varying lengths.[2][3]
Most of the same records may be found for free at Riksarkivet, where they are usually in B&W. Finding things is usually easier with ArkivDigital, but Riksarkivet has advantages in some areas.
Citing ArkivDigital
ArkivDigital is a repository for sources. It is not enough to cite just the repository as a source citation in WikiTree (reference). A proper citation for a church record must also include the parish, the volume and a page number (when the volume is paginated). The ArkivDigital site/app offers citations in a number of different formats.
For formatting ArkivDigital references to church records we recommend App for ArkivDigital references by Lundholm-24 , which is based on one of the AD citation formats, including links.

There are no more profiles using it as a template, since some time last summer.
It may also be time to archive the old comments.
You should probably write a section on how to link to the page. There are people not using sourcerer.
Aleš.
The what-links-here shows that there are a little bit over 500 pages that link to this space page, most of them profiles. I think most of them had used the space page as a template and just changed this into a link to this page when correcting the DB-error. However, doing that, the references lost all the information about which parish, which volume and which page that were in the template, so linking to this page as a source is fairly pointless.
I'll take this into account for the new text.
I did a lot of work on replacing the template last summer, but then I did a new lookup in ArkivDigital and used the app.

Magnus, while I was editing, I also updated the page with the new logo. What is the images template you mentioned?
This is one way I have tested

=> you get a text under the picture with Picture from Arkiv Digital => you get the whole reference if you have mouse over and/or if you click on the picture...
