“Through these publications, students, researchers and scholars may study the history and socio-economic conditions of the island’s municipalities as well as understand the political tragedy resulting from the 1959   Communist regime’s rise to power.”

Cuban Heritage Collection

University of MiamiLibraries

The Cuban Exile Collection (CEC) is a repository of material on Cuban exiles and Cuban-Americans. Through newspapers, magazines and newsletters, the collection deals with their impact on the growth and development of many parts of the United States. Unavailable in any other medium, the CEC spans 40+ years of the historical Cuban Diaspora.

Each title is filmed separately, enabling titles to be purchased as subsets or (eventually) the entire collection.

Part One: Los Boletines de los Municipios de Cuba en Exilio

Cuban Exile Newsletters

Phase one of the Cuban Exile Collection features four decades worth of rare titles, most of which are unavailable elsewhere. These newsletters offer an insightful first-hand chronicle of everyday life in the Cuban Exile Community.

In the newsletters you will find information on:

• Cuban history, literature and memories
• Arrival information
