Ernestina Archives Made Accessible
There was a reception to mark the transfer of the Ernestina/Effie M. Morrissey Archives. Several dignitaries including Chancellor Dr. Jean MacCormack, DCR Commissioner Edward M. Lambert, General Consul of Cape Verde Pedro Graciano Gomes de Carvalho and New Bedford Mayor Scott W. Lang spoke of the opportunity that opening these archives to the public will allow more people to share Ernestina’s amazing story.
