Maltese Archives… my choice

Although silent, archives do speak volumes!
Celebrating his thirtieth year working in the archives, Malta’s National Archivist visited over sixty archives in Malta and Gozo and chose a selection of records from these repositories; it was a long process of engagement with the sources, their guardians and their users.

This personal narrative highlights sources, connections and different archival typologies and media while shedding light on a number of previously unknown archival treasures. The project draws attention to audio-visual content on an on-line platform. It evokes curiosity and seeks to inspire others to connect with our documentary heritage.
