STATENS VATTENFALLSVERK Driftkontoret för Ångermanälven 1953-1991 Alternativt arkivbildarnamn: Mellersta Norrlands Kraftverk, Driftkontor Näsåker Region Mellersta Norrland, Driftkontoret för Ångermanälven Organisationshistorik Driftkontoret för Ångermanälven, organisatoriskt liggande under Drift och förvaltning och Region Mellersta Norrland, inrättades 1953 för att ta hand om drift och skötsel utav de vattenkraftverk som fanns och byggdes utefter älven. Driften utav de redan existerande vattenkraftverken Forsmo, Nämforsen och Kilforsen övertogs då ifrån Driftavdelningen på huvudkontoret Mellersta Norrlands Kraftverk, som fram till dess skött driften utav samtliga stationer i Mellersta Norrland. Driftkontoret förlades till Näsåker och förblev där under arkivbildarens hela verksamhetsperiod, dock i olika lokaler och byggnader. 1967 tillkom även en driftcentral med central styrning utav vattenkraftstationerna. Driftkontorets littera (förkortning) har varierat från IKD3 fram till 1967, NKD2 mellan 1968 och 1987, samt NP2 från 1988. Driftkontorets organisation har under åren förändrats och många omorganisationer har genomförts. Driftkontoret har alltid bestått utav bland annat en administrativ eller kameral avdelning samt flera underhålls- och driftgrupper. Fram till 1967 utfördes underhåll och drift utav personal stationerade på plats i kraftstationerna. Vid en stor landsomfattande omorganisation 1967 uppdelades driften och underhållet upp på ett fåtal underhållsgrupper samt driftgrupper, vilka fick till uppgift att sköta om ett flertal kraftstationer. Hur dessa driftsgrupper och underhållsgrupper varit sammansatta har varierat under åren, huvuduppgiften har dock alltid varit att ta hand om tillsyn samt underhåll utav bland annat kraftstationerna. För en mer utförlig bild utav driftkontorets organisation se organisationsplaner/-scheman i arkivets dossiéserier. Arkivhistorik Större delen utav handlingarna har stått på driftkontoret i Näsåker, men material har även hämtats ute på kraftstationerna. Handlingarna på driftkontoret stod vid omhändertagandet 2007 i ett skyddsrum på källarplan. Vissa delar utav materialet var redan då arkiverat och förtecknat - se den tidigare arkivförteckningen som finns arkiverad i serie D5 Dossiéplaner och arkivförteckningar. Tyvärr var handlingarna inte arkiverade på ett tillfredställande sätt och arkiverades om. Det jobb som utförts är till största delen byte av arkivbox och hopläggning utav volymer för att få bort onödig luft i boxarna, samt omläggning med fascikelomslag. Några handlingar kan vara mögelangripna då de på kraftstationerna har förvarats på mindre lämpliga ställen. Avgränsning av arkiv I arkivet finns endast handlingar från Driftkontoret för Ångermanälven, d.v.s. handlingar rörande driftkontoret verksamhet samt anläggningar under driftkontorets ledning. För handlingar rörande de ursprungliga byggnationerna utav vattenkraftstationerna se arkiv Statens Vattenfallverk Ångermanälvsarbetena. För senare om- och tillbyggnationer se bland annat arkiv Statens Vattenfallverk Forsmoarbetena. För handlingar rörande arbeten med Ångermanälven och dess biflödens reglering, se arkiv Statens Vattenfallverk Ångermanälvensregleringsarbeten. Handlingar rörande driften utav Ångermanälvens vattenkraftstationer m.fl. anläggningar kan även hittas i arkiv Statens Vattenfallverk Region Mellersta Norrland Sundsvall samt Statens Vattenfallverk Drift och förvaltning. Fotografier har skickat till Vattenfall AB:s bild/ljud/film-arkiv. Vissa fotografier har dock behållits i detta arkiv då de tillför information om dess verksamhet och/eller historia. Sådana fotografier finns då tillsammans med de handlingar de tillhör, en markering om detta har oftast gjorts i förteckningen. Ritningar samt ritningsförteckningar har inte arkiverats, annat än då de varit som bilaga till övriga handlingar. Ritningar återfinns i Vattenfall AB:s ritningsarkiv. Gallring Gallring har skett med hjälp utav Ra-Ms 2005:56 (Riksarkivets föreskrifter om gallring hos Statens vattenfallsverks arkiv), Ra-Fs 1997:6 (Gallring av handlingar av tillfällig eller ringa betydelse) samt gallringsbeslut (Dnr RA 231-2007/2353). Dessa handlingar redovisas i bilaga till arkivbeskrivningen. Utmärkande för det gallrade materialet är att handlingarna i huvudsak har en ringa betydelse; kopior vars original finns arkiverade på annat håll t.ex. i dossiéserierna eller annat arkiv; arbetspärmar som använts som hjälpmedel i arbetet på stationerna eller i fält; handlingar för den dagliga driften och underhållet. Tidigare gallringar är okända, några gallringsförteckningar har inte påträffats. Men en kontinuerlig utgallring utav handlingar rörande den löpande driften har troligtvis gjorts. Handlingarna Arkivet består till största delen utav handlingar uppkomna till följd utav driftverksamheten samt dossiéer. Dossiéserierna är uppdelade på tre tidsperioder. Det är med anledning av att Statens Vattenfallsverks klassifikationssysten har ändrats efter hand. Fram till 1963 användes ett alfanumeriskt korrespondensregister, 1963 till 1988 användes ett numeriskt klassifikationssystem samt 1988 till 1991 användes ett alfanumeriskt D/D-system. Till det sistnämnda systemet ingick förutom dossiésystemet även diariesystem för handlingar. Dessa diarieförda handlingar finns i serie F1A. Samtliga dossiéplaner återfinns i serie D5. I serierna D2 Driftjournaler samt D3 Dagböcker finns rik information om den dagliga skötseln utav kraftverken. I dessa kan man finna information om fel och åtgärder samt övigt som inträffat både rörande driften men även i omvärlden i övrigt. Serie F2 Handlingar rörande vattenmål innehåller information från vattendomstolen bland annat i form utav protokoll och domar med bilagor. Trots seriens rikliga innehåll är det inte en komplett samling utav de vattenmål som förts gällande Ångermanälven, information kan även behövas sökas på annat håll. Statistikserierna innehåller information samlad från vart enskilt vattenkraftverk. Serie H1 Driftrapporter är inte komplett då i stort endast originalen har sparats i detta arkiv. Kopior eller original har oftast skickat till en högre instans t.ex. huvudkontoret i Sundsvall och dessa ska då finnas arkiverade där. Även serie H5 Pegeldiagram innehåller ett fåtal original, övriga diagram finns arkiverade hos SMHI. I serie H4 Termovisionsmätningar finns mätningar gjorda i hela Mellersta norrlands område, inte enbart från Ångermanälven. Information rörande fiskodlingsanstalten i Forsmo finner man framförallt i serierna F5 och H6. Handlingar finns även i dossiéserierna. Arkivet innehåller inte några räkenskaper mer än några udda forsedlar eller rekvisitioner. Information om driftkontorets ekonomi kan eventuellt finnas i dossiéserierna men är knapphändig. Det bör noteras att handlingar daterade före och efter Driftkontoret för Ångermanälvens epok finns arkiverade i detta arkiv. Dessa handlingar har antingen övertagits från annan organisation eller haft relevans för det övriga materialet och har därmed inte kunnat urskiljas. Förvaring Samtliga handlingar i arkivet förvaras i A4-arkivboxar om inget annat anges i förteckning. Arkivet har ordnats och förtecknats av PICAB på uppdrag av Vattenfall AB.

Archives Portal Europe help guide

Please select amongst the relevant tips we can help with. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

Starting your search here will include all content available in Archives Portal Europe. Simply enter your keyword(s) and hit the search button. Wrap fixed expressions in quotation marks, e.g. “French Revolution”. Check the box to “Search each term separately” in case you are looking for documents containing at least one word, but not necessarily all keywords; this will also allow you to search for the same term in multiple languages at the same time (e.g. “French Revolution” “Révolution Française”). You can also use wildcards - find more about Research Tools here. If you would like to use more specific settings, try our Advanced search

The additional advanced search options give you the possibility to focus your search in:

  • archival documents (Search in archives),
  • names of person and organisations that created, worked with and maintained these documents (Search in names),
