MDPL in partnership with Close-Up Productions are recording the memoirs of the City of Miami Beach through the stories of people who have been a part its history. Their stories are being recorded using professional audio and visual equipment. These interviews will then be combined and edited to create a museum installation that will be housed at MDPL’s Art Deco Welcome Center on Ocean Drive. In many cases, the persons being interviewed are elderly and it is important to record their stories before they are gone. This Visual Memoirs Project will be available (when not on loan to another venue) free of charge to all visitors to the Art Deco Welcome Center. Sharing the City’s heritage with all who care to learn about its past only further expands the appreciation of our unique beach community.
