Black Archives Sweden is a website that aims to provide a platform Afro-Swedish narratives and archive media that celebrates Black-Swedish culture. The website includes a combination of photos, videos, stories, and other media pertaining to Afro-Swedish people's experiences. The content ranges in category, showing everyday life, protests, and celebrations. 

Two examples of stories featured in the archive include James Barnor’s Transmissions, a solo photography exhibition about Black diasporic life, and a collection of personal photos from Marieme Niang Ndiaye that explore daily Afro-Swedish life.

The website design by Swedish designer Lina Forsgren includes interactive elements that invite users to view and listen to historical and cultural content, making this information engaging. Forsgren places emphasis on the importance of sharing Afro-Swedish narratives, and Black Archives Sweden played a crucial role in addressing racial discrimination in Sweden during the 2010s.
