A couple of notes: Newspaper clippings - the Royal Library has indexed older Swedish newspapers. You are likely to be able to find many of the articles there. The OCR is faulty, so if you do not find an item through one name or phrase, try another, and avoid (when possible) searching for things easily misread by the software (rn>m, for instance).

As for photographer's studios, some resources exist such as this database or this book. Even in other cases, it is often possible to establish the date of death of the photographer through a little bit of research in digitized sources and indexes. --Hegvald (talk) 13:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you Hagvald. Unfortunately the Royal Library's collection must be read on-site for all of the interesting parts. And some of the papers like Stockholms Dagblad is not there. So either I have to quit my job and spend my time at KB or give up. The most frustrating thing is that I have all the original stuff like letters, official documents, hotel bills, diaries etc. but since they have not been published by a publishing company I can not use them.
 * When it comes to photon I have a rich material where I in some cases have the negatives etc. but I can not swear on who held the camera. Was it my great grandfather (dead since 1927) or someone else? (it was more than 100 years ago and they are mostly private pictures). The few where you actually can Identify a studio it's from France or Japan. In most cases it should be OK according to Swedish regulations but since I try to do this in English I end up under U.S. regulations and they don't seem to have room for private pictures or pictures never publicly posted in the U.S. at all for that sake. If I want to use them it seems like I, in most cases have to wait for between 2 to 29 years if I want to be on the safe side. Maybe one solution would be to publish them on my own website and link to them from there?
 * Also, if someone lend his camera to a friend to take a picture of him is it the friend who is the author or the owner of the camera and film?
