Help Us Build a Women's Archive. Your contributions matter.
The University of Malta is proud to announce the launch of a dedicated Women’s Archive, an initiative aimed at preserving and celebrating the lives, achievements and voices of women who have shaped our society. This archive will serve as a central resource for researchers, students, and members of the general public who are interested in the multifaceted contributions of women across time and disciplines.
As part of this launch, we are reaching out to individuals and organisations who share our vision of honouring women's histories.
We invite donations from all walks of life—individuals, organizations, and communities—to help build this inclusive archive. Here’s how you can contribute:
Individuals: Women from all walks of life such as literature, medicine, academia, public life, sports, religious communities or any field are encouraged to donate personal papers, such as correspondence, manuscripts, notes, or reflections or photographs. Your story, whether as a professional or an everyday changemaker, is invaluable in documenting women’s impact.
Organisations and Activist Groups: Local women’s organisations and activist groups can contribute by donating meeting minutes, photographs, flyers, posters, campaign materials, or even memorabilia. These records of collective action and community spirit are essential to capturing the fight for equality and justice.
Diverse Narratives: We seek materials reflecting the breadth of women’s experiences in Malta, especially from underrepresented voices. Documents, artefacts, or stories about everyday lives, political movements, educational journeys, or professional milestones will enrich this archive.
This archive aims to be inclusive and representative of the diverse experiences of women in Malta Contributions are welcome from all backgrounds. Your contributions will preserve legacies, inspire future generations, and create a space for connection, discovery, and empowerment. Every item, no matter how small, carries historical weight and helps tell a fuller story of women’s contributions.
If you have stories, documents, or artefacts related to women’s everyday lives, political movements, educational journeys, or professional milestones, we would love to hear from you.
Archives are more than collections, they are spaces of connection, discovery, and empowerment. Through your contributions, you will help create a resource that educates and influences both current and future generations.
If you are considering making a donation or would like to learn more about the types of materials we collect, please get in touch with us. Join us in building a vibrant, living archive that reflects the richness and depth of women’s experiences.
