      Accompanying René Vallejo and Fidel Castro on inspection of rural projects, 1960-1960 Box 43, Folder 13

      Dating from the early months of 1960, these photographs were taken when St. George accompanied Fidel Castro and Antonio Nuñez Jiménez, both directors of Instituto Nacional de Reforma Agraria (INRA), as they made an inspection tour of recently nationalized farms and plantations in the interior of the country. The images include a shot of several university-age students outfitted in militia uniforms as they await the arrival of a bus that will probably take them to a political education camp in the mountains. The students wear new boots and are carrying weapons as well as personal items, including multiple packs of cigarettes in the case of the boy and a fashionable fur hat in the case of one of the girls. Another image shows Fidel and his aide René Vallejo surrounded by peasants in a small town. Additional images show Fidel walking along a road at a state farm with others; Fidel addressing a group of peasants at the state farm's social club for workers (volleyball net in foreground, Fidel's head barely visible above the crowd); a young peasant with a rifle doing guard duty before the INRA Tienda del Pueblo; INRA officials in a corn field; Vallejo talking with officials at the foot of a ceiba tree; an unidentified construction site; peasants lounging on a tractor as the sun sets in the background; peasant driving an ox cart; Vallejo reviewing correspondence in a hotel room; and peasants on a cart in front of the Tienda del Pueblo.

        The collection consists of photographs, films, printed matter, memorabilia, and other materials documenting various periods in the Cuban Revolution, particularly the years 1957-1960, 1964, and 1969.

Stone in 1969 include footage of the Vento School, Juventud Comunista, Turcios Lima Labor Brigade, Urbano Noris sugar mill, and orientadores rurales. The footage was incorporated into Compañeras y Compañeros, a 1970 documentary produced by David C. Stone, Barbara Stone, and Adolfas Mekas, a copy of which is in the collection. There are outtakes of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation film from 1964 of scenes of Havana and Santiago and interviews with Fidel Castro, students, cabaret performers, and a female lieutenant in the revolutionary armed forces. The collection also includes a small amount of papers, some of which were compiled by Andrew St. George, including a manuscript notebook of an interview of Fidel Castro by St. George, medallions and ribbons from the 26th of July Movement, and miscellaneous printed materials.
