A fact from Oscar Almgren appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 May 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that when blindness forced Oscar Almgren to retire as professor of Scandinavian and Comparative Archaeology at Uppsala University, a role filled by Sune Lindqvist and Mårten Stenberger in turn, his young son Bertil Almgren read academic papers to him, and decades later took the post himself?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2018/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bertil Almgren.

subject of his professorship

"Nordisk och jämförande fornkunskap" is the Swedish for "Nordic and comparative archaeology" and was the subject of his professorship, not the title of any publication. A not very far-fetched guess is that the work on brooches (or fibula) intended by the author of this page is Almgren's dissertation Studien über nordeuropäische Fibelformen der ersten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderte, mit Berücksichtigung der provinzialrömischen und südrussischen Formen (1897). As the page is obviously not correct at the moment, I will change it. Olaus 18:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
