The dataset describes probable land-use history sequences between 1837 and 2005 for all land parcels in Victoria. The final dataset (Land Use History ECOLOGICAL SUMMARY (1837-2005) = LUHIST2005_VIC) consists of 50 categories. All cells belonging to the same category share a common history.

Positional Accuracy:
- The dataset is intended for use at the state-wide level (where it is assumed to show real patterns), and is not considered accurate for assessing individual parcels.
- The dataset does not show within-parcel patterns.
- 25m grid
Attribute Accuracy:
The land-use categories are generalised, and may not capture regional variation.
Logical Consistency:
The dataset relies on historical mapped sources, of varying scale and accuracy, and has not been checked in the field.
Data Source:
Dataset Source: Individual `time slices' representing land use at the following dates have been sourced from primary sources (paper copies in archives), and brought into a GIS environment: (1837, 1843, 1866, 1888, 1901, 1911, 1923, 1944, 1988). The 2005 time slice was remote-sensed.
