Remember Haiti
Welcome to " Remember Haiti," a site showcasing a selection of books from the John Carter Brown Library that are available online through the Internet Archive. Created with the support of partners from around the world, the intent of this library is to provide access to the remarkable history of Haiti, a nation with an extraordinarily rich heritage, despite its well-known challenges. The project was made possible through the generosity of David Rumsey, a board member of the John Carter Brown Library. The recent earthquake of January 12, 2010, has only deepened the need to raise awareness of Haiti’s story, and to increase access to the rare books and maps that tell it. Happily, the remarkable strides in digital technology have increased our ability to make nearly perfect reproductions of Haiti's rare books and maps and to distribute them freely to a global audience.
