Castro Speech Database

http://www.lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/cuba/castro.html

The Castro speech database contains full text English translations of a selection of speeches, interviews and press conferences by Fidel Castro. The material on the site is from records of the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS). The FBIS is a U.S. government agency responsible for monitoring broadcast and print media throughout the world. The initial work of digitizing the FBIS reports from 1959 to the end of the 1980s was undertaken by the Department of Research of the Radio Marti Program, which is part of the U.S. Information Agency. Updates to the database are now carried out electronically. The database can be searched by headline, text or source and can be further limited by type, year, decade and language. It is also possible to browse the material by date. The material is organised by date and can, therefore, be difficult to browse.
