About Fidel Castro Speech Database, 1959-1995
There are two alternatives for consulting this database. You may
conduct a full-text search of the database by selecting one of the
items marked "Search Castro Speech Data Base." You will then be
presented with an index of the records which match your search term(s).
The other option is to browse the data base, by year, beginning with
item number 8 on this menu.
"Castro Speech" is a database containing the full text of
English translations of speeches, interviews, and press conferences by
Fidel Castro, based upon the records of the Foreign Broadcast
Information Service (FBIS), a U.S. government agency responsible for
monitoring broadcast and print media in countries throughout the world.
These records are in the public domain.
The Department of Research of the Radio Marti Program, part of the U.S.
Information Agency, undertook the task of digitizing FBIS reports from
1959 through the end of the 1980s. FBIS records are now produced online
and updates to the Castro Speech database are made electronically.
The files are organized by year and with files named according to
the date of the speech, interview, or event (e.g., 13 July 1987 =
19870713). If there are two or more events on the same date, files are named
sequentially by adding extensions (e.g., 19870713.1, 19870713.2,
etc.) The file naming convention has been to name file in accordance
with the date of the event; however, file names may vary in that the date of
event, date of broadcast, and date of report are often different and
inconsistencies will occur.
There are several caveats that users should keep in mind:
1) It is not to be construed that this database contains all statements,
speeches, and interviews made by Fidel Castro.
2) There is no guarantee that all FBIS records have been acquired and entered
into the database. Further, FBIS corrections of original transcriptions have
not been incorporated into database.
3) For critical research needs, it is suggested that users compare the text
of FBIS translations with an original source such as the newspaper Granma
or other collections of speeches by Fidel Castro.
