Welcome to Special Collections & University Archives! Located on the 4th floor of Green Library, we invite you to explore our collections and visit us.
We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of an exhibition showcasing the Ramiro Casañas Collection, a tribute to the Casañas Family's passion for preserving and celebrating Cuban history. This extraordinary collection offers a window into Cuban heritage through an impressive array of artifacts, including artwork, handwritten poetry, cigar boxes, periodicals, and sports memorabilia from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Casañas Family for their generous donation and commitment to cultural preservation. This collection is a testament to Ramiro Casañas' lifelong dedication to documenting history and sharing it with the world. Join us in celebrating this incredible legacy and the profound impact of Ramiro Casañas' contributions to our understanding of history and culture. The exhibition will be on view from August 30 - September 30, 2024 in the Gallery at Green Library on the Modesto Madique Campus of Florida International University.
