THE ADAMI COLLECTION

The parrochial records are extremely an important source for historians of any sort. The registers of marriages are the source of all genealogical data.

Since 1863 registration dates and other records, except those of baptisms, are now retained in the Public Registry, Valletta.

Prior to this date earlier records are kept by the Parish-Churches. Each one of the Parishes in Malta and Gozo has its archives, and it is not very easy accessible to researchers to consult or pursues them, and delve deeply in them.

Now with the acquisition of the Adami's collection copies of the majority of the Adami's collection copies of the majority of the parrochial registers are available to one and all at the library.
