• The International Tree-Ring Data Bank
  Do publish your data at the ITRDB! It can be of great use for other people interested in dendrochronology. My own data from the island of Nämdö in the Stockholm archipelago is published here. We are now three dendro amateurs from Sweden who have published our data at the ITRDB!
  
  Finland:
• TREE-RING DATA BANK of SAIMA Centre for Environmental Sciences in Savonlinna
  
  Denmark:
  
• The National museum in Copenhagen, Denmark: Danish oak chronology AD200-1986
  
  Norway:
  
• Nationalmuseets Naturvidenskabelige Undersøgelser, Denmark Many of the reports related to Norway contain measurement data that can be retrieved.
  
  Sweden:

  Torbjörn Axelson's dendro pages in Swedish from Björbo in Dalarna. Open within this frame! --- I will recommend these dendro pages especially for its overview of available reference curves related to the southern middle part of Sweden. --- These pages contain some reference curves from Sweden not yet published at the ITRDB. - There are many pictures of old Swedish barns and houses at this site, see e.g. Hey-barns There are also pictures and info of dated windmills at the Baltic island of Öland
