Two early 17th century parish registers in the archives of St George’s Basilica, Victoria, are being restored at Prev Arti laboratory in Naxxar.
The project, which also includes the disinfestation of 69 old volumes preserved in the same archives, is being co-financed by the eco-Gozo scheme.
St George’s Basilica, through its Historical-Cultural Committee, also managed to obtain funds to invest in equipment for the digitisation of old manuscripts in the coming months.
Another project is the installation of an interactive multimedia information podium at St George’s Basilica.
