This is what 50,000 reels of microfilm look like! UF librarians in the 1950s & 60s filmed newspapers in Caribbean libraries, bringing heavy camera equipment with them by boat & sometimes airplane. We call this project "Librarian on a Boat". 📰🛫⛵️ #Smathers100

#JoséMartí was born on this day in 1853.  His name is synonymous with #freedom across #LatinAmerica and his birthday is observed across #Cuba. The Spanish-language newspaper La Gaceta features the news, work, and legacy of Martí. bit.ly/LaGacetaFL #VintageNewspapers
