The National Archives aren't quite up to a web site.  But if someone were
to 
visit he or she might be surprised.  The Archives do have records (albeit 
incomplete) dating back to colonial days.  When I toured the place a year 
ago, Wilfrid Bertrand, the director, was very proud that these records
have 
been so well preserved - and rightfully so.  The Archives are open to the 
public and (when I was there anyway) there were a number of amateur 
genealogists taking advantage of these records to trace their family
trees.  

At the same time, I don't know about land titles.  These are supposed to
be 
archived, but there hasn't been a full cadastral survey in Haiti for 
generations and many, many titles are disputed.

Good luck,
