Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents a voluntary effort to build a database that supports the content analysis of a collection of Maltese bills of health from 1815-50 and passport applications and renewals from 1870-1923. The article addresses the needs in such a digital resource; the process of its development and its possible applications in historical research. The effort took over six years, and is an example of a citizen science project; this is its first presentation to the wider community. The resource is particularly useful for anyone interested in studying the Maltese diaspora.
