Revista
The REVISTA of the now defunct Cuban Genealogical Society was published from 1988 to 1995 and from 2000 to 2007, with an additional single special issue published in 2009.
According to Mayra Sanchez-Johnson, who ran the Society and published the Revista, the Society has been closed and all their papers donated to the Cuban Collection of the University of Miami. The Society no longer sells back issues of the Revista.
CubaGenWeb has the digitized issues of this magazine along with an Index for the articles published.
