Utdrag ur Ministerialböker
I was looking in ArkivDigital for a birth record for an Ebba Olivia born 1900-12-24 in Östra Strö, Malmöhus. The parish records for that parish only have birth records through 1894, so none for the period I was interested in. So I was surprised to find a source for her birth on FS from "Swedish Baptisms 1611-1920". As I chose the option to Browse the film, the title appears to be Utdrag ur Ministerialböker födda. vigda, dodda 1860-1920. Since it was a series of 2900 images, I did not browse far, but became curious as to what this source is, and could I have found the same reference on ArkigDigital?

Relative to your question: “….could I have found the same reference on ArkigDigital?” I believe the short answer is “no”, because it does appear that ArkivDigital’s searchable indexed birth records stop with 1894 – sad, because ArkivDigital is so wonderful to use.
However, the Östra Strö records appear to be in flux, i.e., apparently they have been and are currently being transcribed beyond 1894. I searched “Utdrag ur Ministerialböker födda. vigda, dodda 1860-1920” (which according to Google Translate means “excerpts from Ministerial books born, baptized and death”) in Google which brought me to the address of: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/74178?availability=Family%20History%20Library – at this address is a list of records that can be: index searched through 1885; browsed online through 1917; and, are available on microfilm at the Salt Lake Family History Center through 1920. I believe this list of Östra Strö records is what is in flux.
Good hunting!

Thanks to both Ulf and Norm. I found all three records in riksarkivet. The record of the family in the parish records I had no problem finding in ArkivDigital, but of course, not the birth record. How often does it happen that records on riksarkivet are not available on ArkivDigital? I assume that the data on SCB that Ulf pointed me too would generally be a second choice, only used if the parish birth record is not available, is that correct? One of the things that I like about ArkivDigital (besides the color photos that Ulf mentioned) is that I can have a bunch of pages open, on the same tab. I assume that on Riksarkivet that if I want to look at multiple pages, I would need to have a separate tab for each page in the archives, is that correct?
Thanks again!
