Description
Original Cuban revolutionary-era organizational chart and administrative planning document, typewritten on aged paper and bearing a handwritten “Che” signature attributed to Che Guevara.
This historically significant document outlines the bureaucratic structure established for the preparation of a “Memoria Anual” (Annual Report) during the early years of post-revolutionary Cuba, likely dating to the early 1960s.
The document presents a highly structured organizational hierarchy typical of the revolutionary administration’s efforts to centralize economic and industrial management under the socialist system established after the Cuban Revolution.
