A collection of photographs taken by various attendees of the protests against the usage of the detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz," which was built on the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades in 2025. This detention center was constructed to house thousands of detainees and has faced several legal challenges on account of its location on land that serves as a vital ecosystem to native Floridian flora and fauna and the lack of preliminary environmental site reviews prior to its construction.
The Urban Environment League is a non-profit organization originally created in 1996 under the leadership and guidance of Gregory Bush, a professor at the University of Miami's History department and the Institute for Public History. The organization is dedicated to promoting safe and responsible practices in urban development in Miami-Dade through education and by advocating for environmental reform and legal protections for historical landmarks. Their records contain several issues of their internal newsletter, the Urban Forum; membership lists; minutes; correspondence; pamphlets; flyers; brochures; periodicals; research files on historical landmarks in Greater Miami, and urban planning; financial records; administrative files; ephemera; audio-visual materials (floppy disks and negatives); and legal files.
