The archives of Malta offer a unique opportunity to study primary documents from a cultural center of medieval and early modern Europe that was influenced by eastern and western civilizations. The Malta Study Center at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) was established in 1973, with the assistance of and in collaboration with the Honorary Consul General of Malta, Joseph S. Micallef, M. O. M., K. M.
The Malta Study Center maintains a microfilm collection of more than 16,000 documents and dossiers of documents from Malta, covering the period of the twelfth to the twentieth century. The materials include the Archives of the Knights of Malta, the Cathedral Museum in Mdina, the Archives of the Inquisition, ecclesiastical records of the dioceses of Malta and Gozo, and musical compositions. On the island of Malta, HMML’s Malta filming project encouraged the Maltese to collect and preserve their historical written heritage. The project located and rescued state and ecclesiastical archives that were scattered throughout the island. The Malta Study Center continues to assemble a wide range of antiquarian and modern publications dealing with Malta’s history, literature, and culture. It also collects materials pertaining to the Knights of Saint John and the history of the Crusades. |
