Päevaleht was a newspaper published between 1905 and 1940 in Estonia.

History and profile

The first issue of Päevaleht was published on 16 December 1905 in Tallinn. In 1924, they expanded to a new building.[1]

Following the Soviet occupation, the newspaper was replaced by Noorte Hääl (published 1940–1941 and 1944–1990) in 1940. The last regular issue was printed on 26 July 1940.[2]

When the German forces took Tallinn in 1941, they tried to restart publishing Päevaleht. However, the first issue published on 29 August was also the last one.

On 1 February 1990, the newspaper Noorte Hääl became Päevaleht once again.[3]

The paper was digitized by the National Library of Estonia.[4]
