This presentation introduces the Cap-Haïtien Citadelle Archive project and offers a closer look at the meaning behind Haiti’s World Heritage monuments. The Cap-Haïtien team of archivists, architects, and translators are preserving over two decades of analog documentation of restoration work, using digital tools and inclusive metadata in English, French and Haitian Kreyòl. The project offers long-term archival strategies for future stewardship.
Speakers include Rhoddy Attilus, Medjino Louis, Frederick Mangonès, Antonio Marcelli, and Yessica Saintigny. You can view some of their digitized materials now via the UCLA Library Digital Collections website or the Digital Collections at the University of Florida.

The event will be in English and simultaneously translated into Kreyòl and French.
A Q&A will follow.
