Military Order of Malta, Rome, Magistral Palace 190 items In 2005, the Malta Study Center of the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library formed a partnership with the Grand Magistry of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta to begin digitizing the archives, rare books, and manuscripts in the Magistral Palace Library, in Rome. The archives contain records of visitations to the Order's European properties, the minutes of the meetings of the Sovereign Council after 1798, diplomatic correspondence between the Grand Master of the Order and the Order's ambassadors to the papal court, and the patents of nobility, the genealogical records candidates presented in order to join the Order. The work is being done onsite and under the supervision of the Order's employees. As part of its agreement, HMML will digitize and archive the documents that predate the year 1904. Samples, or in some cases the entire document, will be available online through Vivarium. The Library of the Grand Magistry is also digitizing research publications of the Order that are difficult to obtain elsewhere and making them available in digital form.
