The Swedish Cyprus Expedition: The Living Past (Stockholm 1994), edited by Eva Rystedt, is Medelhavsmuseet Memoir 9. It gathers the papers on the Swedish Cyprus Expedition (1927–1931) given at a conference on Cypriote archaeology held at the Medelhavsmuseet on 4–5 November 1992, alongside a temporary exhibition of antiquities from the Pierides museum in Larnaca. The preface addresses both general readers and scholars, for whom the volume lists archaeological and archive material kept at the museum.
