The aims of the Malta Image Preservation Archive are simple:
-
Preserve as much as possible all the available material related to Maltese photographic history, such as equipment, prints, negatives and manuscripts relevant to photography in Malta since 1840.
-
Lobby aggressively all the relevant authorities to form, with urgency, a National Collection of Maltese photography, as well as establish a Museum of Maltese photography.
All donations are provided against a contract regulating all aspects of ownership, copyright and usage rights; if you prefer not to physically donate the material for safe conservation and preservation, MIPA can arrange that the photographic material is temporarily provided to our digitisation suite to allow high-end digitisation, with the return of the material to the owner promptly, together with a copy of the digital images from the negatives.
For further information contact us on (+356) 9989 8015 or on [email protected].
