The Haitian Diaspora Oral History Digital Collection includes videos and outlines of oral history interviews conducted with individuals of Haitian ancestry that are well renowned in the world of culture and the arts, education, community activism, civic leadership, and many professional organizations. In these interviews, musicians, artists, dancers, and writers explore the creative process, often through the lens of the diaspora experience, while showcasing the Haitian influence in the arts.

Educators, activists, and civic leaders share their experiences and their passion for supporting both their local community and the larger Haitian community.

Additional interviews from the Haitian Diaspora Oral History Digital Collection are available for research upon request at the University of Miami Libraries Special Collections.
