Havana, Aug 10. – The director of the Jose Marti Studies Center, Ana Sanchez, announced the discovery of some 300 unpublished documents written by Marti, the country's national hero, according to a report posted Tuesday on the center's website.

The documents came from different parts of the world and will be published shortly after checking them against originals, Sanchez said, without specifying the years the documents were written or their subjects.
