Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1766 According to its website, the Society was founded in 1766 as the Svenska Patriotiska Sällskapet till konsters, slöjders och rikets näringars uppmuntran (Swedish Patriotic Society for Encouragement of the Arts, Crafts and the Country's Industries). In 1772, the constitution of the Society received Royal confirmation and the Society thereafter received the Royal designation.
Its website makes it clear that in the early years the Society was concerned with the strengthening of the national economy, and was therefore concerned with agriculture, forestry, mining and the textile industry. Since about 1813, however, the Society has concentrated on making awards of medals for distinguished service and on performing charitable work.
Its website indicates that their one remaining journal in 1813, the Hushållningsjournalen (Agricultural Journal), ceased publication when the Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (Lantbruksakademien) was set up and began publishing its Records. [Note: The latter Academy was actually set up in 1811, but did not begin publication of its first journal, the Annaler until 1813.] It would appear that at this point the scholarly activity of the Patriotiska Sällskapet came largely to an end.
