Latin American Microform Project (LAMP)

Haitian Periodicals In 1984 LAMP approved an ambitious project to film Haitian periodicals in the Saint Louis de Gonzague Collection in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This remarkable collection of some 330 Haitian newspapers and journals is especially rich for the period of 1840 to the present. The project, which also has been provided with funds from the Ford Foundation, allows for the selection and filming of titles in this collection which are not held by other libraries in Haiti or elsewhere. Began in 1984, it continue under the direction of Professor Leon-Francois Hoffman of Princeton University.
