Grant Description

To support the documentation and assessment of earthquake damage to historic buildings and sites in and around the countrys capital city.

Port-au-Prince is home to many important historic buildings in Haiti, and the damage caused by the January 2010 earthquake was so extensive that many of these buildings have yet to be investigated.

This project involves the outfitting of an office for the Institut de Sauvegarde du Patrimoine National (ISPAN) and the provision of supplies, manpower, and equipment necessary for the systematic documentation of the damage.
