Thank you for asking @RenuK

In addition to the great answer by @MoniDi about posting photos in Connect, I want to answer to your question about posting photos in Maps.

The decision to add an old photo depends of several factors, but basically, the photo should reflect the actual situation of a place.

  • How old are your photos?
  • Still your photos reflecting the status of the place?

If so, you are welcome to contribute in Google Maps: Add, remove, or share photos and videos

Please be aware that a photo can be flagged as Private if do not adhere to the Maps User Contributed Content Policy.

What photos should I share on Google Maps? will give you a great indication about how to contribute with photos in Google Maps
