Beginning in 2011, the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project was funded by the Visitors and Convention Authority of the City of Miami Beach. Grant partners were Close-Up Productions and the Miami Design Preservation League. The interviewer was Kathy Barber Hersh, a seasoned journalist and oral historian.The videographer was Carl Hersh, an Emmy-Award-winning, former ABC News cameraman. The Hershes are documentary filmmakers who specialize in historic subjects. Whenever possible the interviewees were recorded in front of a green screen so that subsequent users of the material may be able to place the interviewees over a background of their own choosing.
Interviewees were selected to cover as wide a range of time and subject matter as possible within the budgetary scope of the project. There are many more people worthy of being interviewed. It is hoped the archive will continue to grow, capturing more stories about the people and places of this remarkable and ever-changing city.

The Miami Oral Histories Collection is comprised of oral histories relating to the Civil Rights movement in south Florida. This project was made possible thanks to grant funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Service’s Library Services and Technology Act Grant Program which is administered by the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services, Bureau of Library Development. The students of William H. Turner Technical High School conducted and recorded the interviews on mini-dv tapes. The FIU Libraries’ Digital Collection Center has digitized, transcribed, and published the oral history materials and placed them on the web.
