Gustaf Hallström

Gustaf Axel Hallström (July 11, 1880 - October 5, 1962) was a Swedish archaeologist and photographer.

From 1925 until his retirement in 1945, Hallström worked as an antiquarian at the Swedish National Heritage Board.

In the course of his career, Hällstrom documented one of the largest collections of petroglyphs in Northern Europe, at Nämforsen in Ångermanland.

In 1942, in the midst of World War II, he traveled by skiis across territory in Finland and Nazi-occupied Norway.

He has also been the subject of recent controversy over his participation in scientific racism and possible sympathies for Nazi Germany.
