The Kollezzjoni Programmi tal-Festa within the University of Malta Junior College Library is made up of publications and pamphlets published annually by local parishes and festa organisations. This project started in 2019 and has grown ever since, thanks to donations from the public, band clubs, festa organisations and private collectors. Currently, the collection is made up of over 6000 catalogued entries which researchers can consult by appointment.
The aim of this collection is to provide access to researchers (via print and online on OAR@UM) to Melitensia material with a particular focus on local history. Articles uploaded on OAR@UM cover subjects such as Art, History, Folklore, Church History, Architecture, amongst others.
