Website Cubasource is a web information system on Cuba produced by the Canadian Foundation for the Americas (FOCAL). Available in English and Spanish, it was created to facilitate the exchange of information related to Cuba's international relations and the political, social and economic trends and challenges facing the island, and to stimulate and facilitate constructive and informed research and discussion of these issues within Canada and internationally. It is targeted at government officials, researchers, non-governmental organizations, the business community and the media. Cubasource serves as an information clearinghouse on Cuba, classifying and annotating the vast and assorted information on the web related to the island, from all key relevant perspectives, and focusing these into a useable knowledge base. This annotated directory includes research resources, key documents, news sources and a comprehensive database of pertinent organizations inside and outside Cuba. Cubasource also includes content about the island produced by FOCAL, such as: a Background Briefing paper series, short analytical articles, Chronicle on Cuba (a monthly summary of key news items and related web links), and Spotlight on Cuba (a periodic electronic bulletin designed to raise awareness and clarify developments on key topics related to the island as these unfold). FOCAL makes available an electronic mailing list where subscribers can automatically receive all materials on Cuba produced by FOCAL.
