Luis J. Botifoll Oral History Project

The Luis J. Botifoll Oral History Project digital collection includes videos, outlines, and selected transcripts of oral history interviews conducted principally with members of the first generations of Cubans to leave the island after the Cuban Revolution. Launched in 2008, the Project was conceived of and funded by the Amigos of the Cuban Heritage Collection as a community history initiative to capture the testimonies of older Cuban exiles. It includes interviews with entrepreneurs, civic leaders, former political prisoners, artists and writers, community activists, and others.
