The collection contains audio and visual content of participants from the Race and Change Project including research composed by students taught by Kitty Oliver, and an essay written by Deborah Works entitled \"Historical Sketches and Rare Glimpses of the North Fork of the New River: a history of its natural and human environment\" (2001). The majority of Dr. Oliver's questionnaires, transcripts and interviews consist of ongoing research study of race and ethnic relations, geographical history and social change through the collection of oral histories of Whites, Blacks/African-Americans and immigrants of various Hispanic/Latinx, Caribbean and Asian backgrounds. Research sites include the South Florida cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Miami, Opa-locka, Delray Beach and Boca Raton; North Fork and Liberia – historically significant Black/African-American communities; towns along Florida's landmark Lake Okeechobee; Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale; and Ghana, West Africa – where women who have experienced America's racial climate shared their stories."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://broward.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSome materials from this collection were cataloged in the Broward County Library catalog with the prefix \"OLI\".\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["Some materials from this collection were cataloged in the Broward County Library catalog with the prefix \"OLI\"."],"names_ssim":["AARLCC Special Collections"],"corpname_ssim":["AARLCC Special Collections"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":418,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"_version_":1876455827155451904,"_root_":"a00ac4456d001c4f5b29b5b6","timestamp":"2026-09-16T03:02:08.218Z"}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/a00ac4456d001c4f5b29b5b6_aspace_bc2c5bc21c1f9d25b1bd5ae3a920cfbc"}}],"included":[{"type":"facet","id":"collection_ssim","attributes":{"label":"Collection","items":[{"attributes":{"label":"Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Collection, 1920-2020","value":"Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council Collection, 1920-2020","hits":355},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Southwest+Florida+Regional+Planning+Council+Collection%2C+1920-2020\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Sally Thompson collection, 1976-2019","value":"Sally Thompson collection, 1976-2019","hits":250},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Sally+Thompson+collection%2C+1976-2019\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"USF Athletics collection, bulk 1956-Present","value":"USF Athletics collection, bulk 1956-Present","hits":211},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=USF+Athletics+collection%2C+bulk+1956-Present\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Dr. Edna Louise Saffy Papers, 1962-2013","value":"Dr. Edna Louise Saffy Papers, 1962-2013","hits":147},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Dr.+Edna+Louise+Saffy+Papers%2C+1962-2013\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Diana Estorino papers, 1975-2015, Date acquired: 00/00/2015, bulk 1987-1996","value":"Diana Estorino papers, 1975-2015, Date acquired: 00/00/2015, bulk 1987-1996","hits":127},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Diana+Estorino+papers%2C+1975-2015%2C+Date+acquired%3A+00%2F00%2F2015%2C+bulk+1987-1996\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Edith \"Edie\" Daly / Women's Energy Bank collection, 1973-2014, Date acquired: 2006, bulk 1990-1998","value":"Edith \"Edie\" Daly / Women's Energy Bank collection, 1973-2014, Date acquired: 2006, bulk 1990-1998","hits":115},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog.json?f%5Bcollection%5D%5B%5D=Edith+%22Edie%22+Daly+%2F+Women%27s+Energy+Bank+collection%2C+1973-2014%2C+Date+acquired%3A+2006%2C+bulk+1990-1998\u0026f%5Bdate_range%5D%5B%5D=1993"}},{"attributes":{"label":"Democratic Women's Club of Florida, Inc.
