Description:

The University of Miami Libraries collects and preserves materials covering a broad range of subject areas in support of teaching, learning, and research. The UM Libraries Web Archive parallels and complements the Libraries’ collections, with a focus on the collecting strengths of the Cuban Heritage Collection, Special Collections, and University Archives. Since web content can change rapidly and disappear without warning, web archiving is an important component of the UM Libraries’ collecting strategy in order to document the web presence of the institutions, organizations, people, events, and topics represented in the Libraries’ collections.

Description:

The website Secrets Under the Skin documents a trans-disciplinary art installation created by artist-scholars and presented in Havana, Cuba, from December 2010 to 2014. The installation, which included media, visual art, photographs, storytelling, and live improvisational dance performances, is based on fieldwork conducted in Ghana and Cuba by Jill Flanders Crosby, professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Susan Matthews contributed paintings and illuminated manuscripts to the project. Brian Jeffery photographically documented the African and Cuban field sites.
