Find and request maps
Most of the National Libary's maps are not searchable in databases. You may therefore need help to find them. Contact us via the form below to explore the collections with the help of our staff.
How it works
Look first in our search services:
- There are plenty of maps to be found in Libris External link, opens in new window. and Regina External link, opens in new window.:
- Some are available as digital copies that you can download yourself directly in the services.
- Some maps you need to request by using the form below. Please tell us why you want to access the material. We can often help you find more relevant information than what is visible in the services.
- On data.kb.se External link. there are digitizations of several older maps.
- If you are looking for land survey maps of individual villages and farms, we refer you in the first instance to Lantmäteriets "Historical maps" External link, opens in new window. and the National Archives' database "Sweden's oldest large-scale maps". External link, opens in new window.
