    The Notarypedia project started in 2018 as a partnership between the University of Malta and the Notarial Archives and the Office of the Notary to Governement in Valletta. It is being supported by the Ministry for Justice, Culture and Local Government.

    The project resumed in 2025 as a three-year collaboration between the Department of Artificial Intelligence within the Faculty of ICT at the University of Malta, the Ministry for National Heritage, Arts and Local Government, and the Notarial Archives Foundation.

    What is NotaryPedia?

    The NotaryPedia Project is an ambitious and far-reaching project using Artificial Intelligence to make our past more accessible. It is intended to revolutionise the way we experience Maltese history and culture by building a knowledge graph from notarial documents that span hundreds of years.

    The Vision

    The vision behind Notarypedia is to build a complete knowledge representation from the thousands of manuscripts found in the Notarial Archives. This is an important collaboration effort involving different stages and cutting edge research that will result in new releases of Notarpedia. Watch this space!!
