Project Details

The Haitians Abroad Digital Archive documents the historical actors that made up the Haitian migration experience during the “long” nineteenth century (1791-1880). Founded in 2022, the site is a young and “living archive” that contains profiles of almost two hundred individuals. The travels of these Haitian actors are displayed on an ArcGIS Pro map with an interactive timeline and pop-ups that link to the individual historical actor’s profile page. The surrounding site provides further context for the general public on the Haitian migration experience.
