Library for Rethinking & Redeveloping Haiti
This is a library of resources we are identifying to aid in our work for Haiti.
It includes printed documents and books, internet references, and other media.
We have begun this library with 126 items from the U. S. Library of Congress
and presently are adding additional items and updating some information that is out of date.
(Be sure to click on the plus signs to see how you can drill down to greater detail.)
