OUR DEPARTMENTS
The Notarial Archives Foundation departments are the driving force behind the organisation’s mission to safeguard, study, and promote Malta’s documentary heritage. Comprising three core units, Administration, Knowledge, and Conservation, each department contributes specialised expertise and plays a vital role in ensuring that our work remains rigorous, relevant, impactful, and accessible. This organisational structure upholds the Foundation’s standards while supporting its long-term vision.
THE ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT
The Administration Department oversees the daily operations and strategic management of the Notarial Registers Archive. It coordinates internal processes, supports outreach and partnerships, and ensures compliance and logistical planning across projects.
THE KNOWLEDGE DEPARTMENT
The Knowledge Department manages the collection, organisation, and safeguarding of the Archive’s extensive historical and legal data. Bridging disciplines such as AI, palaeography, classics, archival studies, and digitisation, it serves as a central hub connecting departments with innovative research and emerging technologies.
THE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT
The Conservation Department safeguards the holdings of the Notarial Registers Archive through preventive care, active treatment, and research. Guided by a minimal intervention approach, the team works to stabilise documents while preserving their original structure and historical integrity.
