Regional archive of folklife traditions including folk music and ethnomusicological material from Skåne and nearby cultural areas.

Folklivsarkivet med Skånes musiksamlingar is an archive that has been part of Lund's University since its inception in 1913 with a focus on tradition. Skåne's music collections were added to the Folklivsarkivet in 1991. The Folklivsarkivet conducts documentation and collection under its own auspices and in collaboration with researchers and students and makes its material available to broad groups of users. The collections consist of cultural-historical and ethnological documents that are sources of knowledge about everyday life in both the past and present.
