The World as Seen in Vintage Photos


Ajapaik is a gallery and interactive map showcasing historical and vintage photographs of Estonia. The site allows you to view over 130,000 old images of Estonia, about 75,000 of which have been mapped.

The Ajapaik interactive map allows you to browse this huge collection of old photos by location. If you select a marker on the map the selected photo will be highlighted in the map sidebar. The marker itself shows where the photo was taken and the direction of the camera. If you click on the photo in the map sidebar you can view details about the picture, including any copyright restrictions on using the chosen photo.

You can also browse Ajapaik by albums. In the albums section the vintage photographs have been grouped by theme. These themes includes categories such as sports, transport and also themes organised around individual Estonian towns and cities.
