Abstract
The article presents the creation of a regional historical GIS database derived from two eighteenth century maps of the Principality of Transylvania, an eastern province of the Habsburg Empire at the time. The research was focused on an area in the southern part of the principality marked by the presence of the Transylvanian Saxons, the ethnic German descendants of the colonists invited to settle here by the kings of Hungary during the High Middle Ages. The extracted features were assembled in four vector layers (two point layers and two line layers) and were subsequently published online on a free data repository (Harvard Dataverse).
