TRAVELING EXHIBIT “AZORES – USA:  A JOURNEY INTO THE FUTURE”

The Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives will host the traveling exhibit “Azores – USA: A Journey into the Future”.  The exhibit will remain open until 31 March 2022.  The Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives is open to the public.  Its hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 5 PM.  Guests should use Parking Lot 13.  

The beautiful eight-panel exhibit offers a synthesis of the history of the connections between the Azores and the United States of America.  The first panel sets the stage in 1750 and then takes the viewer on a journey of historical discovery to the present day.  Archivist Sonia Pacheco has created a complementary exhibit within the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese American Archives that is not to be missed.  Faculty-Director, Dr. Paula Noversa stated, “We are proud to host this exhibit highlighting the many and nuanced connections between the Azores and the United States.  I hope that faculty, students, staff and the community at large will take a moment to visit the Archives and view this important exhibit.
