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]
