About the register

The Global Haitian Books Register (GHBR) is a heritage and scholarship platform that catalogues books, doctoral dissertations, and scholarly papers by Haitian authors and authors of Haitian descent — and works about Haiti by authors anywhere in the world.

Scope

• • Works by Haitian authors or authors of Haitian descent, in Haiti and worldwide.
• • Works on Haiti-related subjects by any author worldwide.
• • Trilingual: Kreyòl Ayisyen, Français, English.

Verification status

Every record carries a transparent verification badge so readers can judge the data confidence.

Verified

Cross-checked against primary library, publisher, or institutional sources.

Source-cited

Drawn from a flyer, organizer publication, or named public source with a citation.

Catalogue-listed

Listed in a catalogue (e.g., Livres en folie 2026) without further independent verification.

Needs verification

Identity, spelling, or attribution still uncertain — flagged for follow-up.

Data provenance

The seed dataset (June 2026) combines Livres en folie (32e édition, Pétion-Ville) and the Salon du Livre Haïtien de New York (4e édition, Nassau Community College). Sources are linked on each record where available.

Corrections & submissions

To suggest a correction or add a new work, please contact the editorial team. A public submission form will be added in a future iteration — submissions will enter a moderation queue for admin review.
