The Malta Study Center of the HMML began microfilming private and ecclesiastical archival collections on the island of Malta in 1974. The Center currently maintains a microfilm collection of more than 16,000 documents covering the history of Malta and the Knights (today known as the Sovereign Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes, and Malta) dating between the twelfth and the 20th centuries. Today, this collection represents the largest accumulation of Maltese and Sovereign Military Order of Malta archival materials under one roof.

Mdina, Malta

After successful completion of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) challenge grant endowing the Center and its work, the Center signed an agreement with the National Archives of Malta to digitize the Acta of Magna Curia Castellanae (MCC) in 2007. The MCC was the law court of the Knights in Malta, which heard civil and criminal cases. These court records, which date between 1545 and 1899 AD, are housed at the Banca Giuratale in Mdina on the island of Malta.
