The Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project has been recording the history of the City of Miami Beach by recording the memories and stories of the people who grew up here and have been a part of its development. These recollections are available for online research and have been combined and edited to create museum installations and educational films. Sharing the legacy of the City\u2019s past expands our appreciation and understanding of this unique beach community.<\/p>\n
The Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project is funded by the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority<\/p>\n

He also clarifies why we put the parentheses around “Beach.”<\/p>\n

The experience of growing up on Miami Beach differed depending on an individual’s experience in school. Mitch Kaplan, owner of Books and Books, grew up on the Beach in the 1960s. For him, the influx of Cubans fleeing Casto changed the dynamic of his school years in unique ways. In the background is a mid-century postcard photo of Central Beach Elementary School.<\/p>\n

Barbara Baer Capitman’s vision and persistence helped to turn a rundown area of Miami Beach into the vibrant Art Deco historic district. Arriving on Miami Beach in 1973, Barbara was struck by the neglect of what she recognized as an artistic treasure — the hundreds of buildings constructed in the Moderne style following the disastrous 1926 hurricane that pushed a wall of water across the barrier island that is Miami Beach.\u00a0This film uses interviews with people who worked with Barbara and video from a German Television documentary filmed the year before her death in 1990 to tell the story of how Barbara Capitman was able to save large portions of Miami Beach\u2019s unique Art Deco district.<\/p>\n
