By Robert Johnson
This is an introduction to the digitized historic map collections and property records covering most farms and villages from the 1600s to the 1900s available at the Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) and the Swedish Land Registry (Lantmäteriet). We will look at the various types of maps available, how best to understand them, and then go over the process of locating maps within the various collections.
