Historical photographs
Welcome to our collection of historical photographs – a unique opportunity to explore Umeå’s past! Here you’ll find digitized images from the archives of the Lantmäteri (Land Surveying Office) and Detaljplanering (Detailed Planning office), with photos spanning over decades and covering various parts of Umeå. Each photo includes a caption based on the information we have gathered. If you have additional information about any of the images, please send the information to lantmateri@umea.se
You can filter the images by area, decade, or use a free-text search. Under the "View Map" tab, you can select a neighborhood to see images related to that area. Photos outside the urban area can be found under "Umeå kringområden." By clicking on a photo, an information box appears with the option to download the image.
