First edition
changeThe first edition began in 1929 by Baltiska förlaget AB,[1] but in 1931, Svensk uppslagsbok AB took over the publishing. This edition had 30 volumes and one extra volume, finishing in 1937.[2] The articles in Svensk uppslagsbok were written by experts and were signed.[1]
It competed with Nordisk familjebok in its shorter version (1923–1937) and aimed to be affordable for many people.[1]
Second edition
changeA new, updated edition was released from 1947 to 1955[2] and had 32 volumes. The publisher Svensk uppslagsbok AB changed its name to Förlagshuset Norden AB in 1945.[3]
For the rest of the 1950s and until the early 1970s, only smaller Swedish encyclopedia projects were started. The second edition of Svensk uppslagsbok was the last big Swedish-language encyclopedia until the first edition of Bra böckers lexikon came out in 1973–1981,[4] and its size was only matched when Nationalencyklopedin was published in 1989–1996.[5]
