Charles J. Farrugia delivered a lecture entitled 'Archives: Common Heritage Transcending Boundaries' at the Delegation of the European Union to the United States in Washington, DC last December.  

The lecture and visit were sponsored by the Malta Study Center, the European Union, and the Embassy of Malta, and The National Archives of Malta as part of the Conversations in Culture Series. During his lecture, Mr Farrugia discussed how the Malta Archives—and the way the traditional approach of managing them—is being challenged by the advent of new media and also the realities of geo-political and demographic shifts in societies.

During his three-day visit to Washington DC Mr Farrugia also visited the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and held discussions with the US National Archivist David Ferreiro.  

Mr Farrugia is visiting lecturer at the Department of Library, Information and Archive Sciences that forms part of the Faculty of Media & Knowledge Sciences.
