The Editorial
Welcome to the first issue of the Newsletter of the Malta Historical
Society. Although we have opted for the rather unassuming title of Newsletter,
we hope that this new initiative will develop into something more than
just a means for the Committee to report on its current activities.
Our wish it that this Newsletter becomes a useful tool in the hands
of each and every member of the Society. Looking at the Newsletter as
another benefit of membership, each member is free to use it according
to his or her needs and to further the aims of the Society.
We welcome for publication in this Newsletter short articles and letters
of general interest to our members, including your comments and suggestions
both on improving this Newsletter and on other activities of our Society.
In its desire to allow this Newsletter to be of benefit to the highest
number of members possible, the Committee has decided to publish this
Newsletter in English. However, in keeping with the spirit of our Statute,
the Committee has decided that he editorial be written Maltese and accompanied
with an English translation. Contributions by members to future issues
of this Newsletter will be welcome in either language.
This Newsletter will also provide all our members with a free classified
advert service, called Members' Notice Board, in which a member may
place short messages, such as, a message requesting information on his
current research interests from other members, or a message seeking
to buy out-of-print books etc.
In this first issue of the Newsletter the Committee is also launching
another benefit to all its members. All members can now benefit from
special discounts at the shops listed in the box at the bottom of this
page. The Committee would like to thank these establishments for accepting
to extend this benefit to our members.
We would like to conclude this first editorial with our heartfelt season's
greetings to all our members and their families.
