Data from: HistMapR: Rapid digitization of historical land-use maps in R

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-2015Öppnas i en ny tabb 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). --UpdatesVersion 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. For more information, please see the readme file.
