The Miami Beach Digital Archive<\/a> was born out of the City’s 100 Years celebrations in 2015. Miami Beach was incorporated March 26, 1915. For years, dedicated employees at the Office of the City Clerk and friends of the City of Miami Beach kept and indexed valuable historical and administrative documents. Since August 2014, a\u00a0group of graduate students and researchers from Florida International University have worked incessantly\u00a0in the digitization of this historical material, making it ready, available, and searchable to everyone. Beginning in 2015, the Miami Beach Digital Archive became a partner of FIU’s Digital Collections<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” title_text=”Use MBDA watermark here” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” src=”https:\/\/www.on-miamibeach.com\/mbda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/09\/100-yr-Miami-Beach-Logo-FINAL3.jpg”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n The bulk of the Miami Beach Digital Archive are photographs pertaining life, customs, entertainment, administration, and advertising of the City of Miami Beach. A\u00a0unique part is\u00a0the collection of original aerial photographs done by City photographers like Chris Hansen. The 1926 hurricane is also well documented with photographs and government documents dealing with the City’s post-storm recovery efforts. In addition, the MBDA offers postcards, brochures, and other documents that show how Miami Beach has been marketed as a tourist destination throughout the decades. There are also a varied collection of government documents such as ordinances and resolutions, as well as oral interviews and videos of the City of Miami Beach in the 1930s.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” parallax_3=”off” parallax_method_3=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/www.on-miamibeach.com\/mbda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/07\/31.1_000-1.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” url=”http:\/\/dpanther.fiu.edu\/dpanther\/items\/itemdetail?bibid=MB00000026&vid=00001″] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/www.on-miamibeach.com\/mbda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/07\/9.10_000-2.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”on” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”View of street after the 1926 hurricane” url=”http:\/\/dpanther.fiu.edu\/dpanther\/items\/itemdetail?bibid=MB00000066&vid=00001″] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_video admin_label=”Video” src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/rYHJHeNI7N0?list=PL8QRwonPTqgNccZxLkRw-swtR9H7psjt6″] [\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”on” specialty=”off”][et_pb_fullwidth_header admin_label=”Fullwidth Header” title=”The Miami Beach Digital Archive ” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” header_fullscreen=”off” header_scroll_down=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” content_orientation=”center” image_orientation=”center” custom_button_one=”off” button_one_letter_spacing=”0″ button_one_use_icon=”default” button_one_icon_placement=”right” button_one_on_hover=”on” button_one_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ custom_button_two=”off” button_two_letter_spacing=”0″ button_two_use_icon=”default” button_two_icon_placement=”right” button_two_on_hover=”on” button_two_letter_spacing_hover=”0″] The Miami Beach Digital Archive is the digital house of the City of Miami Beach Historical Archives.
