Finland In 1997, the number of the provinces (Finnish: läänit) in Finland was reduced from twelve to six. The relocation notes in the current development in Edition 23 of the Dewey Decimal Classification reflects this change. Also in 1997, nineteen regions (Finnish: maakunta) were created as second-order administrative units. On January 1, 2010, the provinces were abolished. The regions are now first-order administrative units.

Unfortunately, the embassy did not have such a map, and advised us to use the maps we had identified on the web. The maps given in the appendix were used to determine the boundaries of the regions and in which former province they were located. The form of the name of 2

3 the region was first based on the form given on the Finland page in the CIA s World Factbook. We then asked the National Library of Finland to review the draft, with special attention to the form of name.
