#1502: Immigration of African-American to Haiti under Boyer1825 MOre sources

Another source of information about migration back to Africa (and Haiti's
peripheral role) are the archives of the American Colonization Society,
which financed the back-to-Liberia movement. The Library of Congress or
Smithsonian web site once posted some remarkable early photographs
(daguerrotypes, to be precise) of key figures in the ACS.

The REv. Theodore Holly, once of Boston. later of Haiti, was active in
some of the several efforts to get Haitians (and US ) settled back in
Africa, especially in Liberia. This suggests that docuemnts in archives in
Boston; US State Department, Washington D.C.; the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the U.S., Episcopal church of Haiti all may have documents
relating to this project.
