KIB podcast episode 6: The Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library and KIB – and the importance of looking back when heading forward

Why is a collection of physical historical books, journals and manuscripts, as the Hagströmer collections, important in our digital world? And how does the Nobel laureates react when they visit the Hagströmer library?

Since 2025 the Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library is part of Karolinska Institutet University Library. Planned is also for the collections to move to campus Solna. This is some of what we talk about with Anna Lantz, curator and project manager at the Hagströmer Library, Thomas Perlmann, Professor in Molecular Developmental Biology, and Secretary of Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine and Sven Hagströmer, chair of the friends association at the Hagströmer Library.

The Hagströmer web has already moved in with KIB, here you also find information on exhibitions, lectures and other events. The Hagströmer Library Friends Association also has a website (in Swedish).
