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.
