Digital Library of the Caribbean - Protecting Haitian Patrimony

I  would like to share this with you.  It comes from the Digital Library of the Caribbean.  Since the earthquake in Haiti they have been assisting the libraries and archives in Haiti in rebuilding efforts.

"The Digital Library of the Caribbean (www.dloc.com) Protecting Haitian Patrimony Initiative (PHPI), organized by the Florida International University (FIU) Libraries and Latin American and Caribbean Center, continues to provide much needed assistance to the damaged libraries and archives in Haiti. The dLOC partner libraries and archives in Haiti have made significant progress and continue to work to repair their facilities, restore their collections, and work to reopen to the public."
