Swedish Board of Mines

The Swedish Board of Mines (Swedish: Bergskollegium) was a Swedish government agency existing between 1637 and 1857 with the task of overseeing the mining industry and metal processing in Sweden.[1][2] The Board was an expression of the bergregal principle, the royal ownership of mineral resources, and oversaw activities in the Swedish mountain districts. The Board issued charters for blast furnaces, trip hammers and various forms of manufacturing.
