The Latin American Network Information Center at the University of Texas provides access to a searchable and browsable database of speeches by Cuban Leader Fidel Castro. It contains "full text of English translations of speeches, interviews, and press conferences by Castro, based upon the records of the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS), a US government agency responsible for monitoring broadcast and print media in countries throughout the world." Users should note that the search interface, while allowing searching on any of nine types of documents, as well as keyword and date, lacks user guidance. Documents are organized by date. While this is not a repository of all of Castro's speeches, the amount of material at the site makes it valuable to researchers.
