| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the National Library of Sweden’s long-term initiative to establish an advisory Council in collaboration with the country’s five national minorities: Jews, Roma, Sámi, Swedish Finns, and Tornedalians. Guided by the principle of 'Balancing Heritage and Responsibility', the initiative aims to strengthen inclusion, access, and representation. The Council contributes expert advice, supports inclusive practices, and co-creates content. This paper outlines the historical context, preparatory work, and early outcomes of this approach, offering insights for memory institutions seeking to build meaningful partnerships with minority communities. Keywords: Heritage, inclusion, national minorities, collections | |
