The 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. There is a complementary exhibit in the William O. and Mary Jane MacLean Gallery within the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese American Archives on Portuguese American Immigration. This exhibit was recently featured at the Massachusetts State House.
The Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 5 PM. Guests should use Parking Lot 13.

The Claire T. Carney Library celebrates Black and African American History Month. We honor a past filled with achievements and boundary-breaking while acknowledging that these boundaries were put in place by our nation’s forefathers and elected officials. We celebrate Black excellence, past, present, and future, knowing that there is more work to be done.
As a library, tangible action often takes the form of the information we choose to highlight. Below you’ll find links to a selection of library resources by Black authors and scholars.
“Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.” – Frances Wright
