March 5 - May 21, 2010
The Bancroft Corridor Gallery

Drawn primarily from library materials in the Gardner (Main) Stacks' extraordinary collection of books, journals and official publications, the exhibit celebrates Portugal's first centennial as a republic – Europe’s third oldest only to France and Switzerland. As is true of most national histories, much of the scholarship surrounding such an achievement remains accessible only through the vernacular languages of the respective countries, in this case Portuguese, the sixth most spoken language in the world.

In June, most of the exhibit will travel to the Portuguese Historical Museum in San José, California. See: http://www.portuguesemuseum.org/

The exhibit is open during the operating hours of The Bancroft Library.
