Baltic sea
- Swed022 ITRDB: swed022w.rwl Gotland 1128-1987, Schweingruber. A very useful reference. Unfortunately the youngest part, after about 1850 too narrow.
- SE005 (Gotland 1124-1987). Included in "Project EXTRATERRESTRIAL" [1] This collection seems to be based mainly on the same samples as Swed022, but measured independently and with other identities. A lot more samples from recent trees are included.
- Swed302 ITRDB: swed302.rwl info Nämdö in Stockholm archipelago 1583-1995, by Lars-Åke Larsson. A good reference with good correlations towards the Gotlandic references. Also single trees are often datable between Nämdö and Gotland. For a later extended version of Swed302, see Nämdö.
- Kalmarsund-PISY 1593-1943, datable samples found in various buildings and postmills on the island of Öland. The origin may be Öland and eastern Småland
South east Sweden, low elevations
- SE003 (Högelycke outside Nybro, south east Småland 1662-1998, Lunds Universitet. In "Project Extraterrestrial"[2]. Useful start for dating not too old samples from the region.

- Swed303 Kaptensudden PISY 1672-1870 (From a house in Stockholm archipelago, though trees come from an unknown - maybe rather distant - location. Occasionally this reference has been useful for cross dating of data from southern Sweden, when other references have failed.)

As both Quercus robur and Quercus petraea grow in the area, and wood samples of the two species seem similar, most collections may contain not only QURO but maybe also some QUPE samples. Therefore it may be better to label them all as QUSP
