About Historic Mauritius

Historic Photography (Mauritius) Limited is a photography company registered and operating in Mauritius. For the past decade, we have been recording the remaining, tangible history of Mauritius into what has become, probably, the largest modern photographic collection of historic sites in Mauritius.

During this quest, we have also recorded whatever has been found to be quite interesting.

Most albums can be found on up to three pages. Firstly, each photo album will appear on a categories page so if you wanted to look for albums related to Mauritius Railways, Bridges, Buildings etc. then you could select from the available categories. Secondly, an album will appear on a District page. This could be useful if you are planning on visiting Mauritius on a cultural holiday and wish to see what history can be found in a specific district. Some albums also appear under additional categories because of their story.

If you visit locations, please be mindful of the history, take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time. Please do not assist the bulldozer in its task.

Every photo is uploaded, the good, the bad and the surprisingly adequate but only to record as much detail as possible and whilst some information is provided, this website is image-centric.

Many of these images are freely available for non-commercial use under an attribution, no derivatives Creative Commons license. Attribution should display “HistoricMauritius.com”. If you wish to use any of these images commercially or you are interested in discussing aerial, 360° or historic photography then please use the contact form and get in touch.

We also provide consultancy services based on the history of Mauritius as well as historic photographic tours.
