This pathfinder includes
links to news sites in or concerning Haiti that provide current information.
It provides only a brief view of what is available on the Internet. Note
also that some of the sites may present unverified news reports. On May
22, 2002, The Hispanic Division presented a symposium that demonstrated
the reverence for life as demonstrated by Haitian and United States citizens
in
the
creation
and perpetuation of a hospital in Haiti: Cybercast
of the Symposium.
For a map of Haiti, see the presentation by the Geography & Map Division
of the Library of Congress: Places in the news.

Within the Library of Congress, the Newspaper & Current Periodical Reading Room has an online search facility to discern what newspapers are available for consultation in that reading room: http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/fncr.html.
One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating
to Haiti is the University of Texas' LANIC

survey of current and recent news relating to the situation in Haiti cited
below at the LANIC NEWSROOM: HAITI. Other news gathering sources throughout
the world may also provide important information, for example the BBC in
London
provides news relating to the Americas
which features outstanding events: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/default.stm and
Le Monde.
