Support & Collaboration

M3P was originally created as the Malta Music Memory Project in 2010, supported in part by the Malta Arts Fund of the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts and the University of Hull's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and School of Arts & New Media. Further support for the creation of the project was provided by the British Academy, Jisc, the National Archives of Malta, the Open Preservation Foundation, and the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector. In 2016 the M3P name moved beyond the idea of a music memory project to the Malta Media Memory Preservation initiative, stemming systematicall from the original project.

The M3P Foundation has also entered into formal collaboration agreements with the Malta Broadcasting Authority (since 2014) and Fondazzjoni Kreattivitá (since 2015). We also work very close with Malta's National Archives.
