Lost in Time,
hopefully,
Found by You
Throughout PATA’s 75 years of history and with our home base in two far-apart regions, we’ve had the opportunity to meet countless people and host/ participate in events across the world. We have these photos kept, but the details about them have been lost in time. Please help us put these pieces back together!
Some photos we have partial clues about it, which will be listed above the images; some we have our (educated) guess, listed above the images in italic; and some simply are head-scratchers– we can’t find any information about them!
Whether it’s you / your family member, or you’re just a passionate geoguesser / online Sherlock, whatever you can identify in these photos, please let us know through the form below. We highly appreciate any information provided to help us make sure all these people we’ve encountered don’t go forgotten!
As a not-for-profit, we might not be able to thank you with prizes, but we will make sure your contribution(s) is/are properly recognised. Leave us your name in the form so we can properly credit you!
