On 1st October 2019 Joseph Schiro, Malta Map Society came to talk to Sliema/St Julian’s Group about Cartography.
This was a fascinating talk about the maps of Malta through history. Explaining the details that maps show much more than geographical details. They are a record of history giving information on climates, crops, trade, religion, military information, notations as well as images of dwellings, people, animals and all sorts of curiosities.
Joseph also shared a video on how the map of Malta has changed over the years, click here to see that video.
The Malta Map Society are celebrating their 10th Anniversary this year.
The Malta Map Society was born on the 14th of November 2009 when it was founded by Dr Albert Ganado, the President of the society. During these 10 years the Society has been extremely active and has managed to organise multiple activities and publish several publications.
