Four photo collections have been donated to the National Archives of Malta.

The collections comprise three personal wartime and service collections and a series of photos of Malta taken at the turn of the 20th century. The photos taken in the late 1900s originated from a collection held in Melbourne, Australia and were made available to the National Archives via Chevalier Joseph Sammut.

The wartime and service collections are of: Anthony P. Bilocca – Superintendant of Air-raid Precautions at Pawla and Tarxien, 1940 to 1943, F.E. Amato-Gauci – an Army Officer and a Civil Servant, and Salvatore Galea – Commissioner of Police, 1928 to 1939

The four collections comprise 151 digitised photos and documents.

Each CD includes a biography or explanatory note of the collections. The CDs were compiled on the initiative of educational media producer Veronica Galea, who researched, catalogued and digitised the collections for the National Memory Project at the National Archives.
