The archives & rare book collections, Special Collections Department - the University of Malta Library

Abstract

Like most academic and research libraries the University of Malta (UoM) Library holds “legacy” collections of rare and special materials. The Archives and Rare Book Collections, together with its sister collection - the Melitensia Collection - form part of the UoM Library’s Special Collections Department. The collections found here have a strong Maltese content but not exclusively as is the case with the Melitensia Collection. In common with other academic and research libraries, the UoM Library is committed to collect, preserve and provide access to its special collections on behalf of its parent institution and the needs of learning and scholarship everywhere.
