http://sites.google.com/site/goanarchivescanada/goan-archives-canada
The Goan Archives mission is to assemble, preserve,
organize, and store, publications and documents generated by
Goan Community Groups in Canada over the last 40 years. The
intent is to facilitate study and understanding of the
Community by scholars and researchers in the future.
Publications and documents cover the following:
-
Brochures,
newsletters, & books published by Goan organizations in
Canada
-
Fliers,
programs, and other printed material, which portray the
activities of community groups.
-
Newspaper
cuttings and other published accounts relevant to the Goan
Community.
-
Photograph
albums and other graphic material pertaining to activities
of Goan organizations.
There efforts
are underway and the items collected now exceed 200. An
“Open House” was held on November 11, in the East GTA and
gleaned a large number of books by well-known Goan author,
Ben Antao.
In the West GTA a similar Open House sponsored by the Goan
Cultural Group, will be held on Wednesday .January, 20, 7-9
p.m. at the Older Adults Centre in Square One, Mississauga.
Those wishing to make contributions can drop by to hand in
submissions, and view typical items in the collection.
