In São Paulo, a project aimed at preserving the history of Arab immigration to Brazil has discovered significant materials in the book collection of the Metropolitan Orthodox Cathedral. The Arab Immigration Memory Digitization Project collected and returned 41 books and a magazine to Archbishop Damaskinos Mansour. Among the publications, seven stood out as particularly important, including "On the Flying Carpet" by Fawzi Maluf, published in 1929; "The Poet of Abqar and the Songs of Art" by Abd al-Latif al-Yunis, published in 1966; and "The São Paulo Revolution" by Menotti del Picchia, translated into Arabic.
The research team, comprising historians, Arabists, and anthropologists from the Federal University of São Paulo, identified these significant findings. Archbishop Mansour explained that most of the cathedral's books were donated from individuals, often after a family member's death. The project aims to digitize these materials and make them available for research, while also preserving the community's unique history.
