Abstract: The social sciences have failed to make adequate use of the abundant and diverse materials found in the papers of members of the U.S. Congress. Florida's congressional collections, in particular, present opportunities for the study of Cuba and Cuban Americans. Congressional collections can also be difficult to navigate. All congressional offices function in similar ways, but each congressional office maintains its records differently. This study explores a subset of several collections at the University of Florida spanning the years between 1959 and 1988. During those years, Cuban Americans transitioned from a community of exiles to a community of citizens, and Florida's congressional delegation struggled with the consequences of revolutionary change on both sides of the Florida Straits.
