More from Special Collections
The Florida Studies collections comprise extensive holdings that promote interdisciplinary teaching and research to help the Tampa Bay Community develop a better understanding of Florida’s past, present, and future.
Collections include monographs, maps, manuscripts, photographs, printed ephemera, oral histories, and artists’ books relating to Florida’s history and culture, especially the Tampa Bay region and its relationship with the Caribbean Basin. The collections center around the themes of immigration, race, ethnicity, and gender and place them in a global context. Particular strengths include Ybor City and West Tampa’s immigrant and ethnic experience and cigar label chromolithography.
