Method
This dataset includes a detailed example for using our method (described in paper linked to below) to digitize historical land-use maps in R.

Maps
We also release all of the Swedish land-use maps that we digitized for this project. This includes the Economic Map of Sweden (Ekonomiska kartan) over Sweden's 15 southernmost counties (7069 25 km2 sheets), plus 11 sheets of the District Economic Map (Häradsekonomiska kartan - but see http://bolin.su.se/data/Cousins-2015 for more accurate manual digitization).

Svenska
Här kan du ladda ner 7069 Ekonomiska kartblad som vi digitaliserade över södra Sverige. En kort beskrivning av metoden publicerades i tidningen Kart & Bildteknik (se länk nedan).

Updates
Version 2: The digitized Economic Maps have been resampled so that they are all at a 1m resolution. In the original version they were all very close to 1m but not exactly the same, which made mosaicking difficult. This should be easier now. We now also link to the published paper in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
