Free Sheet Music
The following Scandinavian libraries have extensive collections of early editions of guitar music that are no longer under copyright and which can be downloaded in .pdf format. The Danish Royal Library does not provide a catalogue for its collection so the link is to the Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum where the collection has been organized and catalogued with a link provided to download each piece. The Swedish Music Library does provide a catalogue organized alphabetically (the page is in Swedish but click on the alphabet menu).
