== Help Preserve Maltese Paintball History ==

'''Do you remember a team, tournament or paintball field that deserves to be documented?'''

Some parts of Maltese paintball history remain poorly documented.

Historical photographs, event programmes, business records and personal collections can help identify former playing locations, competitions and participants.

We're particularly interested in:

* Historical tournament results and team rosters
* Photographs, videos and old event programmes
* Information about former paintball fields and businesses
* Equipment catalogues, advertisements and supplier records
* Newspaper articles, festa publications and other community records
* Historical websites, blogs and forum discussions
* Personal recollections from players, referees, field operators and organisers
* Records of Maltese participation in overseas competitions

Firsthand memories are valuable, especially when they help identify people, places and events in surviving photographs or documents.

Where possible, WikiPaintball aims to distinguish historical recollections from information independently verified through contemporary sources.

'''Even a small contribution can help recover a forgotten part of Maltese paintball history.'''

== About This Collection ==

Malta is one of the first countries being documented by WikiPaintball because of the project's existing knowledge, historical material and connections within the Maltese paintball community.

The collection covers both Malta and Gozo.

The collection is a work in progress.

Some subjects have substantial surviving documentation, while others are known only through photographs, archived webpages, newspaper reports or personal recollections.

As new material becomes available, existing articles can be expanded and corrected.

Our aim is to build a lasting historical reference recognising everyone who contributed to the sport, from tournament teams to local recreational fields and volunteers.
