Home / National Book Prize / 25 for 25 – Heirlooms for Posterity Riċerka Storjografika 25 for 25 – Heirlooms for Posterity While celebrating the silver anniversary of the friends of the National Archives of Malta, the present volume is a significant contribution to Maltese scholarship. It presents 25 private deposits that the National Archives of Malta have acquired, at times with support from the FNAM. The chosen themes comprising Politics, Governance, Music, Scholarly Contributions, Film and Photography, Sociocultural, and Art and Design, are widely encompassing, bringing together an assortment of historical, anecdotal and factual elements aiming to whet the appetite of the readers and encourage them to delve further into the subjects being presented. Indeed, reading through the fonds also brings out the aspirations of a nation which has sought to evolve and gain its autonomy in the political, literary, educational, and expressive sectors. Looking back at the last 25 years it can be proudly affirmed that the NAM has steered through a quarter of a century of positive transitions. From an institution aimed at caring for public records it has developed into a holistic institution which focuses on the collective memory of the nation rather than on any typology of records. This is the National Archives we want for the present and future generations. To purchase the hardback edition of 25 for 25 – Heirlooms for Posterity, published by the Friends of the National Archives of Malta, please contact the association directly through its official website or community channels.
