Far East Currents

The Portuguese and Macanese Studies Project – U.C. Berkeley

Working with the HK Museum of History

This two-stage project provides information about early printing in Canton and Macau, then focuses on Macanese in Hong Kong who expanded the technology into many different areas. In the process, their use of printing in publishing, journalism, packaging and labels, advertising, and banking helped stimulate a new global economy that linked Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
