The Otto G. Richter Library of the University of Miami was awarded
approximately $1 million in National Leadership Grants from the Institute of
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to digitize selected items and archival
collections from the unique holdings of the Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC).
The Cuban Heritage Collection is one of the largest repositories of
materials about Cuba and Cuban-Americans outside the island nation; the
collection spans nearly 300 years and contains over 250,000 items, including
rare books, periodicals, manuscripts, illustrations, maps, posters, personal
papers, and photographs from the early colonial period to the present.
As part of the IMLS projects, I have assisted in the preparation of the
following websites designed to serve as portals to the collection. Please
visit the CHC on the Web!
