History and profile

edit

The magazine was launched by the National Association against Emigration in 1908[1] under the title Kvartalsblad utgifvet af Nationalföreningen mot emigrationen (Swedish: Quarterly magazine published by the National Association against migration).[2][3] Its headquarters was in Stockholm.[3] In the early period the magazine focused on the activities of the association and published the news about the policies on emigration to the country.[2] Its editor was Adrian Molin, a far right politician and founder of the National Association against Emigration.[4] It was mostly read by the members of the association and had a circulation of 5,000–6,000 copies until 1912.[1] Its circulation rose to 17,000 copies in 1917.[1]

In 1925 the National Association against Emigration was closed, and the magazine was redesigned.[2] It began to appear under the title Hem i Sverige from 1926.[3] Its focus became small farming activities and residential development in Sweden.[2] Later it featured articles on crafts, but was not affiliated with the Swedish Arts and Crafts Society.[5] Tyra Lundgren and Ulla Molin (daughter-in-law of Adrian Molin) were among its editors.[5][6] The latter served in the post between 1942 and 1966.[6]

The magazine was renamed as Villa & Hem i Sverige in 1964.[7] Later its title was changed again, and it folded in 1977 under the title Bonytt.[8]

All issues of the magazine from 1935 to 1941 and from 1946 to 1960 are archived at the Stockholm City Archives.[2] Issues from 1956, 1958–1975 are archived at ArkDes in Stockholm.[9]
