When the ICC meets in Köln, eight volumes of the new National Atlas of Sweden have been published, covering the themes "Maps and Mapping", "The Forests", "The Population", "The Environment", "The Agriculture", "The Infrastructure", "Sea and Coast" and "Cultural Life, Recreation and Tourism". When the National Atlas is completed in 1996 it will comprise a geographical and cartographical description of the country in seventeen volumes, each containing about 170 pages and 100 thematic maps. The books are published simultaneously in a Swedish and an English edition. The manuscripts are produced at seventeen thematic editorial offices located all over the country. The government-financed project is led by a small editorial board at Stockholm University. The National Land Survey, Statistics Sweden and the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography are responsible for the project. Production of the thematic maps is carried out by modern computerised graphic methods at LM Maps in Kiruna. The maps are stored in a data base. Apart from the book version, the atlas is produced and distributed in computerised form on disks and CD-ROM. Software has been developed within the project. The first version of the PC-atlas was demonstrated at the International Cartographic Conference in Bournemouth 1991. This paper describes the new national atlas with the emphasis on design, aim and use. The data sources, the technical production and a brief description of the contents of the volumes published so far are also given.
