This paper constitutes an investigative analysis of how marketing is utilized in public archives in the municipality of Uppsala. By studying and contrasting two local archives and putting these findings in a wider marketing context this paper hopes to answer several questions about how archives market themselves: How important marketing is considered as an aspect of archival work, How highly marketing is prioritized in regards to archive resources and funding, how traditional and social media impacts the marketing landscape and effort of the archives, what differences in methodology occur between the two archives and what constitutes the basis of these differences, and how the economic terminology of marketing is used in archives as cultural institutions. The conclusion is that marketing is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the archival business model and that several channels for marketing archives, both digital and analogue, are seeing greater utilization. Archives are in the process of departing their role as passive conveyors of information and are adopting models for a significantly more active interactions with the public.

Black Aspergilli (Aspergillus section Nigri) are widely distributed in various habitats. They act as food spoilage organisms, human pathogens, and mycotoxin producers and are frequently encountered in indoor environments. Black Aspergilli, specifically A. niger, A. welwitschiae, and A. carbonarius, produce different ochratoxins and fumonisins. Ochratoxins are known to induce renal disorders following inhalation, which necessitates the determination of potential mycotoxin-producing species in our environment. This paper aimed to compare the diversity and species distribution of black Aspergilli in the indoor environments of six different countries using morphological and molecular methods. A total of 178 black Aspergillus isolates were identified from six countries. In contrast with results from previous studies, A. niger was not the only black Aspergillus detected in indoor air. Species distribution differed among countries, although the distribution in European countries (Croatia, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Turkey) with a temperate climate was considerably similar. The highest species diversity was observed in indoor samples from Thailand, while the lowest was found in Algeria. Potentially ochratoxin- and fumonisin-producing fungi were detected in the indoor air of all six countries. Further studies need to clarify the effect of these fungi and their mycotoxins on human and animal health., Crne plijesni roda Aspergillus široko su rasprostranjene u različitim životnim prostorima. Razgrađivači su hrane, ljudski patogeni i proizvođači mikotoksina. Također ih se često može pronaći u unutarnjim prostorima, a pojedine vrste poput A. niger, A. welwitschiae i A. carbonarius proizvode ohratoksine i fumonizine. Udisanje ohratoksina uzrokuje poremećaje bubrežne funkcije, pa je iznimno važno odrediti plijesni u našem okolišu koje bi ih mogle proizvoditi. U ovom se radu uspoređuje raznolikost i rasprostranjenost vrsta crnih plijesni roda Aspergillus u unutarnjem prostoru šest različitih zemalja morfološkim i molekularnim metodama. Analizirano je ukupno 178 uzoraka. Za razliku od prethodnih studija, u zraku unutarnjih prostora nije pronađena samo A. niger. Rasprostranjenost vrsta u europskim zemljama (Hrvatska, Mađarska, Nizozemska i Turska), gdje je klima umjerena, bila je umnogome slična. Najveća raznolikost uočena je u uzorcima iz Tajlanda, a najmanja u Alžiru. Da bi se razjasnili štetni učinci navedenih plijesni i mikrotoksina na zdravlje ljudi i životinja, potrebna su daljnja istraživanja.
