PHCS celebrating 31 years 1979 - 2011
Welcome to the Portuguese Historical & Cultural Society (PHCS) website!
This
site was created to promote the culture and preserve the historical
significance and contribution of the Portuguese immigrant and
Portuguese descended population of the Sacramento Valley and
neighboring counties. However, the scope and reach of the
organization is not limited by any tangible boundaries.
We
invite you to explore the site through the various links to access
information and resources regarding PHCS and the greater Portuguese
community and culture.
Our purpose
Founded in 1979, PHCS is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
preservation of Portuguese cultural and historical heritage, which
provides a congenial environment for individuals of Portuguese
ancestry to maintain a link with their ethnic past.
