Shaped by centuries of Mediterranean, Arabian, European, and global interactions, Malta’s archives offer invaluable insights into diplomacy, governance, and cross-cultural exchange, resonating strongly within the UAE context.

Professor Charles Farrugia, Head of Library, Information and Archives Science at the University of Malta, and National Archivist and CEO of the National Archives of Malta, delivered a lecture entitled “Bridging Cultures Through Archives: The Role of Maltese Institutions.
