The following excerpt is from an article posted August 8, 2016 at the news.fiu.edu website.
Just a day after he graduated from the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs with a Ph.D. in history, Adam Silvia MA ‘09 started a new job with the United States Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Five years spent archiving centuries of Haitian history may have helped with his application.
Silvia, who wrote his dissertation on Haiti, created a digital archive, Haiti: An Island Luminous, that combines rare books, manuscripts and photographs from libraries and archives in Haiti with commentary by more than 100 scholars from 75 universities around the world.
I spent quite a bit of time at the Haiti: An Island Luminous website, and found it to be fascinating.
Thanks to ResearchBuzz for the Heads-Up.
