Punjabi Patrika

The Punjabi Patrika, published in Abbotsford, BC, is one of only two bilingual Punjabi/English newspapers published in Canada and includes unique perspectives into BC’s South Asian community. An archive of the Patrika was donated to The Reach by owners/publishers Andy and Pritam Sidhu. The Reach oversaw the digitization of the hard copy archives of the Punjabi Patrika from its beginning in October 1996 to 2014, found here on Open Collections. In combination with the Patrika’s e-editions, the digitization project created a fully digital and accessible archive.
