The first Arab immigrant in Brazil and the first Arabic newspaper in Latin America are some of the findings of the Project of Digitization of the Memory of the Arab Immigration to Brazil.

Banco ABC Brasil is controlled by Bahrain’s Arab Banking Corporation, and last October it has completed 15 years since its IPO in the Brazilian stock market, with an eleven-fold increase in assets and a five-fold increase in the customer base.

The Digitization Project of the Memory of Arab Immigration in Brazil has completed its first phase and makes available 100,000 digitized pieces. They include pictures and content written by Arab immigrants in their early years in Brazil. The link will be launched officially in an event on Saturday (26) at the Immigration Museum.
