The National Library of Malta, within Malta Libraries, is pleased to announce a new collaboration with the Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC), the open-access database of books printed up to 1700. This important initiative will focus on the inclusion within the database of works held at the National Library of Malta that date within the period covered by the USTC.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Dr Jacob Baxter, Deputy Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue and Associate Lecturer at the University of St Andrews. Dr Baxter has commenced the painstaking task of examining the existing Sheaf Catalogue at the National Library in order to identify works printed up to 1700, the bibliographic data of which will eventually be incorporated into the USTC.

This collaboration represents a highly significant milestone for the National Library of Malta, marking a major step forward in addressing the longstanding and complex challenge of retrospective cataloguing.

The National Library of Malta (Malta Libraries) joins the Maltese community in mourning the loss of Noel Galea Bason, a distinguished Maltese artist whose legacy lives on through his outstanding designs of medals, coins, sculptures, and public monuments.

At the National Library of Malta, we remember him with particular gratitude for his valued collaboration with us when designing the commemorative coin marking the 225th anniversary of the Bibliotheca Building.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those who admired his work. May he rest in peace.
