Fidel Castro Building Inauguration Speeches, 1960-1994, from the Fidel Castro Speech Database

The map was created as part of the online exhibition “Inauguration Speeches by Fidel Castro 1960-1994”, based on the Castro Speech Database, which is hosted in the Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) by the LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections. The map includes a subset of 78 buildings related to the speeches given by Fidel Castro. The buildings were identified by the building names found in the speeches and georeferenced to their location. Out of the 52 that were located, only 34 of them have an exact location; the other 18 are an approximation based on additional research and given the location of a city. Out of the 26 unidentified locations, 22 of them were given the location of the city or province, and 4 of them were given a coordinate south of Cuba in the ocean to provide accurate representation of the entirety of the dataset. The speeches date February 1960-December 1994.
