In the metadata of the Estonian National Bibliography, the publication location of most books is recorded. In this tool, a connection has been established between place names and coordinates to provide an overview of the dataset, and the books have been placed on a map based on their place of publication.

The map displays the locations where books were published for each decade and provides information on the number of books published. You can change the displayed time period on the map, zoom in or out, and focus on specific locations. The size of the circle represents the number of books published in that location during the respective years – the larger the circle, the more books were published there.

The points on the map can be clicked to access the corresponding records in Ester, which is a larger database compared to the Estonian National Bibliography. Ester includes not only works directly related to Estonia but also other works that may have some connection to Estonia.

Note: There may be some inaccuracies in marking the geographical locations, primarily due to the existence of multiple places with the same name in the world. These errors are being addressed and corrected.
