Research Resource

Dear fellow scholars:

I recently found out that the first three volumes of Encyclopedie Biographique d'Haiti  by Ernst Trouillot and Ertha Pascal Trouillot are available for sale, and I was able to buy those three important volumes. Each of the three volumes has about 500 pages.  Original dates of publication are as follows: Vol. 1: 2001, vol. 2: 2009, and vol. 3: 2016. The publication of Volume 4 has been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Interested  researchers may secure more information or order by calling (917) 945-1392 or (917) 207-9898.

Sincerely,
