Preserving the Heritage of Pangasinan
The Pangasinaniana Archive and Online Index to its Literature (PAOIL) is an institutional initiative of the Metro-Dagupan Colleges Library, developed in collaboration with partner libraries across the province of Pangasinan.
The term PAOIL is inspired by the native Pangasinan word “pawil”, meaning “to return.” The project’s core mission is to return and foster enduring appreciation for the indigenous language, rich literature, culture, and documentary history of Pangasinan.
Through this digital repository, educators, researchers, students, and the global public can discover historical municipal profiles, genealogical records, academic theses, folk songs, and digitized rare materials.
