rasin.ai

rasin.ai preserves and democratizes access to primary sources documenting Haiti's history, with a focus on the Haitian Revolution and its long aftermath. We use modern AI to make historical documents searchable, accessible, and understandable across language barriers.

This project serves researchers, educators, students, and anyone interested in exploring one of history's most significant revolutions through original sources — not summaries.

Rasin (pronounced "rah-SEEN") means "root" or "roots" in Haitian Kreyòl. The name reflects our commitment to the foundational documents that form the roots of Haitian history and identity.

Just as roots sustain a tree, these primary sources sustain our understanding of Haiti's past and its profound impact on the modern world.

rasin.ai is built and maintained by studio1804, an independent research and development studio focused on preserving and amplifying marginalized histories through technology.

rasin.ai is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.

All data pipelines and AI techniques are fully documented on this page. Historical sources are freely accessible and properly attributed. Nothing is behind a paywall.
