Tim Berndtsson is an Associate Professor and a senior lecturer at Uppsala University in the Department of Literature and Rhetoric. His research focuses on 18th-century culture, Freemasonry, and the history of archives and libraries. He completed his dissertation titled 'Order Archive: Freemasonic Archival Culture Eighteenth Century Europe' in November 2020, exploring the creation and impact of Masonic archives in 18th-century Europe, with a primary focus on Sweden and Germany. Berndtsson's ongoing projects include 'Swedish Royal Private Libraries, 1746-1829,' which investigates the cultural significance of royal book collections and their role in Swedish society during the time. His second project, 'Feelings of Hope,' examines the expressions of hope in poetry and its rhetorical uses, connecting it to the labor movement and emotional history. His work bridges European contexts and delves into the administrative functions of archival practices within Masonic associations, ultimately aiming to uncover the broader cultural-historical implications of these shadows of history.
