Cuban/Latino Theater Archive – A Digital Cultural Initiative

The University of Miami Libraries invites you to a presentation by Dr Lillian Manzor, associate professor of foreign languages and literatures, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Friday April 21, in the Otto G. Richter Library's Cuban Heritage Collection conference room (second floor).

Manzor will introduce the Cuban/Latino Theater Archive she developed with a digital library fellowship from UM Libraries.

The Cuban/Latino Theater Archive provides a coherent framework for documentary material for live theater. It draws on the works, both written texts and live-art performance, of theater practitioners. There are over 2,000 images of photographs, video recordings, sketches for costumes and stage design, program notes, director’s notebooks, and newspaper clippings. The archive is being developed with the collaboration and feedback from theater practitioners, theatre scholars, librarians, artists, and scientists in the U.S., and independent collaborators in Cuba.

You can visit the Cuban/Latino Theater Archive at http://scholar.library.miami.edu/archivoteatral

A light lunch will be served before the presentation.

Please email cgoycochea@miami.edu if you will be attending.
