As we develop our platform we plan to create a space for new scholarship on Haitian art. Central to building the HADC platform is a continued engagement with scholars from a variety of academic disciplines. We continue to receive feedback during the production of our portal, as well as share information with regards to Haitian art and visual culture. We have established ties with multiple individuals and organizations, most notably the Haitian Studies Association, and we foresee a website that includes digital presentations by various entities showcasing resources in Haitian art and visual culture. Through outreach and user engagement, HADC aims to build a digital environment that invites discussion and research of our own platform and how it engages pedagogies in library science, museum studies, cultural studies, and Black studies.Further, we aim to connect to a growing field of art history, with the belief that expanded resources and data will permit a more rigorous study of Haitian art, attached to new exhibitions and publications. We see our database as part of a greater platform for the display of digital scholarship. By provide a place where scholars, art professionals and the public can engage the peculiarities and brilliance of Haitian art, we aim to broaden our understanding of Haiti in our contemporary world.
