The J.A. Freitas Library is digitizing copies of 14 Portuguese-language newspapers published in California between 1885 and 1940. The library is owned and operated by the Supreme Council of the Portuguese Fraternal Society of America. Archivist Sonia Pacheco, of the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, supervised the digitization.
Pacheco will provide an overview of the project and demonstrate the use of the site this Saturday. She will also provide similar presentations Sunday at the Portuguese Historical Museum of San Jose, Wednesday at UC Berkeley and Thursday at San Jose State University.
