Created and maintained by the
Hispanic Division, Collections and Services Directorate

A listing of sites that provide resources pertaining to the history 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 130 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/help/guide/nations/haiti.html).
