The database covers Swedish history in the broad sense, regardless of country of publication or author nationality. This includes historical theory and historiography published in Sweden.

The bibliography starts with the Viking Age, from about 800 and onward. SHB contained 95 000 catalog records as of June 2010. About one third describe books and the rest cover articles. 

The database is updated daily with catalog items from 1977 to the present. It is a direct continuation of the printed bibliographies that cover the years 1771-1976.
