The Finnish Literature Society ( Finnish: Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura ry or Finnish: SKS) was founded in 1831 [1] to promote literature written in Finnish. Among its first publications was the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. [2]
The society is the oldest Finnish publisher still in operation and publishes general non-fiction books including folklore, literature and history. [3]
In 2024, the SKS has just over 2,000 members; membership fees range from 20-35 euros per year. [4]
The SKS research library is open to the public. [5] [6]
