A listing of web sites that provide information about the government
of Haiti.
The most important source for bibliography of books
and articles concerning Haiti is the annual Handbook
of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced
by over 160 contributing editors under the editorship of the
Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage
of journal
articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic
American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/). Both
the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in
book form.
One of the major aggregators for links to a
wide variety of subjects relating to Haiti is the University
of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/haiti/).
Another site one should especially note is the site prepared
by the
Law Library of the Library of Congress for legal, political,
and
general information on their Guide
to Law Online (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/haiti.html).
Note also the Country
Profile for Haiti produced by the Federal
Research Division of the Library of Congress.
