. This article explores documentary evidence of droughts in Sweden in thepre-instrumental period (1400–1800 CE). A database has been developed usingcontemporary sources, such as private and official correspondence letters,diaries, almanac notes, manorial accounts, and weather data compilations.The primary purpose is to utilize hitherto unused documentary data as aninput for an index that can be useful for comparisons on a larger Europeanscale. The survey shows that eight subperiods can be considered as having been particularlystruck by summer droughts, causing concomitant harvest failures and having great socialimpacts in Sweden. This is the case with 1634–1639, 1652–1657, 1665–1670,1677–1684, 1746–1750, 1757–1767, 1771–1776, and 1780–1783 CE. Within thesesubperiods, 1652 and 1657 stand out as particularly troublesome years. Anumber of data for dry summers are also found for the middle decades of the15th century, the first decade of the 1500s, and the 1550s.
