Just yesterday, on March 10, 2026, Riksarkivet made available the scans (dated February 27) of K 400 (Nr 7) of the Azzolino Collection: the batch of chronologically ordered letters from 1655 to 1657! It's a very exciting day and I can't wait to explore this archive.
Link to the archive here (please consider that at the time of writing, people outside Sweden like myself may still have trouble accessing the site without a VPN, it's been like this since December but the people at Riksarkivet have been working to fix this and other issues):

I hope this may be of interest to any other Kristina aficionados out there and those interested in the 17th century as a whole, whether you're professional, academic or amateur (I'm only the latter, but it's still very important to me). It's always a powerful experience to be able to look through these windows into that world, and especially with this year making 400 years since Kristina was born.
