Title: Launch of Women's Archive at UM
Date: Friday 7 March 2025
Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Venue: Aula Prima, Valletta Campus
The University of Malta, in collaboration with the University of Malta Library Services and the Equity Office, is excited to announce the launch of an important initiative: the establishment of a Women’s Archive at the University of Malta.
This project aims to address a critical gap in the archival representation of women’s histories in Maltese society. It seeks to preserve and celebrate the diverse experiences, contributions, and legacies of women for future generations. A number of individuals and organisations have already expressed interest in donating or bequeathing their collections. To date, the University has acquired the archives of President Agatha Barbara.
Additionally, outreach efforts have led to the acquisition of additional archival material which will be presented during the launch.
This is a significant step towards safeguarding invaluable historical resources and raising awareness of women's pivotal roles and achievements in Malta's history.
