About fortepan.hu

Fortepan is a free-use community photo archive that publishes historical photographs, with more than two hundred thousand archive images available to browse and download at good quality. Images can be shared for any purpose when the source is credited as FORTEPAN with the donor's name.

Photos come from donating families, amateur and professional photographers and public collections. The editorial team selects the images, and volunteer editors write the descriptions. The project also publishes the Heti Fortepan blog, which covers the stories behind the photos and their donors, mainly in Hungarian and less often in English, with a CC licence. The blog is produced with the support and cooperation of Capa Központ.

The site was launched in 2010 by two private individuals, Szepessy Ákos and Tamási Miklós, with 5,000 photos mostly found in clearance sales. Its collection is expanded every two to three months with roughly 2,000 to 3,000 new images. Its administrative background is provided by Summa Artium Nonprofit Kft.

Product: Online archive of historical photographs with free browsing, downloads and a blog on the collection.
