Nordiska museet uploads

In December, Nordiska museet uploaded ≈1600 photos from two collections that can now be found on Commons: commons:Category:Images from Nordiska museet: 2020-12

Nordiska Kompaniet (NK): product photos, marketing photos and event photos from the 1930s–1950s
Allhems förlag: unpublished photos from the book series Svenska slott och herresäten, an inventory of castles/palaces/manors in Sweden. The photos are all from Södermanland

Also, with help from Albin Larsson, structured data is slowly being added to the museum's files on Wikimedia Commons using a python script. So far, it only writes a "belongs in the collection of Nordiska museet" statement including the collection ID, but depicts statements will be added in the future.

Sjung med oss, Mamma!

Sjung med oss, Mamma! ("Sing with us, Mom!") by Alice Tegnér is one of Sweden's most famous song collections for children. They have been sung for over 100 years now and they can easily be passed on to the next generation. The original work consists of a collection of nine songbooks from 1892 to 1934. These have been published in different editions, as can be the case with popular works that emerge over a longer period of time. Now we continue with how this work and editions can be structured as a whole in Wikidata. We will start with the nine editions and then perhaps the songs per edition. Feel free to add suggestions how this can be done in best way!
