Post- och Inrikes Tidningar or PoIT (Swedish for "Post and Domestic Times") is the government newspaper and gazette of Sweden, and the country's official notification medium for announcements like bankruptcy declarations or auctions.
The newspaper was founded as the Ordinari Post Tijdender (meaning "Regular Mail Times" in English) in 1645[1][3][4] by Queen Christina and Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna.
[5] In 1791, Gustav III designated the Swedish Academy to distribute and publish the newspaper, a practice that continues today.
[6] In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was the leading news source in the country, but by 1922, under competition from commercial papers, it had been reduced to publishing government, corporate, and legal announcements.
As of 2000, Post- och Inrikes Tidningar is published online at PointLex, and all editions from 1771 to 1860 are available at Project Tiden.
