The National Archives Annual Public Lecture 2016 will be held on Monday 10 October. The public lecture, entitled 'The Collection of the Malta-related Visual Material in the Vatican Archives', will be delivered by Dr William Zammit. The lecture will be held at the National Archives of Malta, Hospital Street, Rabat at 18:30.
The lecture will focus upon the various maps, building plans and other visual documents which are to be found in the Vatican archival collections and which concern seventeenth and eighteenth-century Malta. The material has been painstakingly identified by Dr Zammit during various research visits to the different Vatican archival holdings. Not only do they constitute an invaluable historical document in their own right, but they are also impressive on an artistic level.
