- Abstract
- The map was based on the Castro Speech Database, which is hosted in the Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC), 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 their names in the speeches and georeferenced. 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 location on the sea south of Cuba to represent the entire dataset. The speeches date February 1960-December 1994.

Data Quality Information
- Lineage
- Statement
- The original printed documents come from the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS), a US government agency that gathered and translated news and information from foreign media. These were digitized by the U.S. Information Agency’s Department of Research of the Radio Martí Program from 1959 through the 1980s. The online records are now found in the Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) Castro Speech Database, which gives access to the English translations of 2,396 speeches and interviews given by Fidel Castro. Luke Hernandez extracted the metadata from the LANIC website into a CSV file and began georeferencing the speeches in June 2018. Karla M. Roig Blay finalized the scraping of the data, created a subset of inauguration speeches, georeferenced and visualized them, and then provided the metadata for the dataset in April 2019. This project has been developed from the speech-level description provided with these digitized files. The selection made for the purposes of the exhibition are by no means exhaustive and do not include all inauguration speeches given by Castro. This data comes from the Benson Latin American Collection and is part of the Latin American Network Information Center (LANIC) Castro Speech Database.
