Public Memory Archive
MT NAM PMA · Fonds · 1999-2013

The Public Memory Archive contains oral history interviews; fieldwork notes; photographs and ephemera relating to different themes concerning 20th-century Maltese history. Carried out by students and researchers at the University of Malta, the material corresponds with the following themes: women's memories of childbirth; natural and herbal medicine; health and hygiene; reminiscences of the fisherfolk’s survival at sea; recollections of a generation of “factory girls”; nursing and caring at home and in the neighbourhood; survival strategies of the labouring poor; provisions and care of the body; shelter, nutrition and survival during war. The team assigned to the MEMORJA project, at the National Archives of Malta, is responsible for the conversion of this material from analogue to digital format. This is for long-term preservation and access, which involves recording appropriate descriptive, structural and administrative (including technical) metadata.
