The Pedagogical Prize of 2021 was awarded to Nelly Laitinen, first archivist at the Society for Swedish Literature in Finland.
Nelly Laitinen was rewarded for her continuous work proving the archives relevance in today’s society, and developing digital outreach methods for archives. Regardless of the format, what is striking about Nelly Laitinen’s work is how she strives to make the people behind the documents come to life. She continuously proves how archives through active engagement can help individual life stories speak from the sources and make everyday life from the past come through. This approach also helps her to address difficult and complex subjects such as the Finnish civil war.
