Summary, in English

In the early 1960s, the first issues of the Scandinavian Roll of Arms were published. The initiative was taken in the Scanian branch of Societas Heraldica Scandinavica, but the roll was published independently. In this article, the development of the Scandinavian Roll of arms is described and discussed, with a certain focus on the different views on how a Nordic roll of arms was to be organised and how the principles for registration were to be formulated. An important problem was how the correctness of the information about, and independence of, the arms were to be properly assessed but without giving any guarantees of this correctness and independence. The way the Scandinavian Roll of Arms finally, in 2011, was made part of Societas Heraldica Scandinavica, is also described.
