Historical Project in Holguin Pays Tribute to Fidel on His Centenary

A project by the Holguin Provincial Historical Archive is paying tribute to the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro (1926-2016). In the centennial year of his birth, and to his connection with Martí’s thought. Which has materialized over more than six decades since the triumph of January 1st, 1959.

Deisy Gómez Ruiz, a specialist at the institution, told the Cuban News Agency. That the program aims to engage young people and students of Information Science and History education in the province.

She emphasized that among the initiative’s objectives is highlighting the role of women. In preserving national identity through research. Also she noted that the results will allow for the presentation of the main tenets of Martí’s and Fidel Castro’s thought. On historical dates, cultural events, and other occasions.

The institution also prioritizes the preservation of its collections. A process affected by the intensification of the U.S. economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba. Which limits the acquisition of specialized stationery supplies, the expert reported.

The Holguin Provincial Historical Archive stores more than 20,000 linear meters of documents. Including files and notarial records from before the 19th century that document events, customs, and traditions of Holguin society at that time.
