ERNESTO CUESTA

As of July 2023 this bibliography contained over 7,300 entries of articles, journals, and books that deal with Cuban philately totally or partially. Annotations are provided for a majority of the entries and more will be added in future editions as time permits. The bibliography is intended to be a living document to which additional citations will be added as new works are published or discovered. A subject index currently under development is provided to facilitate research of specific topics with the caveat that it is still very incomplete.

This bibliography has been entered in the philatelic literature competition at the following international philatelic exhibitions:

AMERIPEX 86 (Chicago, Illinois, May 22 to June 1, 1986), Large Bronze Medal*
CAPEX 87 (Toronto, Canada, June 13-21, 1987), Silver-Bronze Medal*
ESPAMER 87 (La Coruña, Spain, October 2-12, 1987), Silver Medal*

Printed editions of the bibliography are indicated by an asterisk following the exhibition name; the edition presented at ESPAMER 87 was the same as the CAPEX 87 Edition, and the one presented at "Centenario del 98" was the same as the PACIFIC 97 Edition. The PACIFIC 97 Edition was the last version of the bibliography published in hardcopy form. The edition installed in these pages of the World Wide Web is a continously updated version of the bibliography currently comprising the equivalent of over 1100 printed pages and so there are no plans to publish additional versions of the work in hardcopy form.

As you can see, this is a mature piece of research that has evolved over more than forty years of my personal work and has also fed on the work of several other previous bibliographers whose contributions are acknowledged in the introduction to the work. 

I am making the bibliography available through the Internet free of charge for the benefit of Cuban philatelists and the general philatelic community worldwide with the intent of promoting the vastness and richness of Cuban philately. You may copy the bibliography or portions thereof for personal use, but I retain the copyright to the bibliography and nobody may reproduce it or any of its parts for resale in any form.  

The citation keys that appear between < > and are underlined and in blue are linked to PDF files of the source documents cited, with the exception of those works that are still protected by authors' copyrights.

The bibliography is only available in English and there are currently no plans to translate it into Spanish since just the task of keeping it current, adding missing annotations, and revising existing ones is monumental in itself. If you do not speak Spanish and need an English translation of any cited work published originally in Spanish, let me know and I will try to help you or find someone that can.  

La bibliografía solo está disponible en inglés y no se piensa traducir al español debido a que solamente la tarea de mantenerla al día, corregirla y añadirle anotaciones a las citas que no las tienen es una tarea monumental.  Si usted necesita ayuda entendiendo cualquier parte de ella o de cualquiera de los trabajos en inglés en ella citados, déjemelo saber y trataré de ayudarle o de buscar a alguien que le pueda ayudar.
