Relevant events in the history of twentieth‐century zoological collection in Cuba and the institutions involved are traced here in order to document the present whereabouts of Cuba's zoological collections. The historical accounts are divided into two periods: from the founding of the republic in 1902 to the revolutionary victory of 1959, and from 1959 to the present. A preliminary survey of the nature, size, and current state of these collections is included.
