Project Runeberg (Swedish: Projekt Runeberg) is a digital-archive initiative for digitization of written works significant to the culture and history of the Nordic countries, with a focus on Scandinavian literature and writings. The Projekt Runeberg was founded by Swedish students of Linköping University, which began digitizing Nordic-language literature as early as 1991 – The project takes its name from the Finnish national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg and is a word-play of similar-natured Project Gutenberg.
