This intriguing collection from the University of Miami Libraries brings together videos, outlines, and selected transcripts of oral history interviews conducted with first-generation Cubans exiled since the Cuban Revolution. The project began in 2008 and its stated goal is "to document the Cuban experience on the island and in the diaspora." Currently, the project contains over 40 interviews with a range of leaders, non-profit organization directors, and activists. First-time visitors may wish to start with the interview of Horacio Aguirre, the publisher, director and editorialist of Diario las Americas, one of Miami's Spanish-language newspapers. As a whole, it's a remarkable slice of social and cultural history and one that will be of great interest to historians and persons with a particular penchant for oral history. [KMG]
