-One important feature of The Louverture Project is the development of a historical narrative to accompany the encyclopedic collection of facts on the site.  ''The Revolution Will Be Forgotten'' is a work in progress, a popular history of the events of 1791&ndash;1804 and their effects on the world at large.  Readers of the online narrative will have the freedom to read the text on its own, or to explore the ideas, concepts, and facts referenced in the text in varying levels of detail.  Of course, TLP will also function as a fully-searchable online resource for a wide range of Haiti-related historical material.

 Though we're starting out with a focus on the Revolutionary Period of Haitian history, it's not easy to tell exactly when &ndash; or if &ndash; the effects of that revolution ended.  Therefore, the scope of the site is bound to expand as more contributors come online.  Be bold in adding to and editing the site.  Let it be ''l'ouverture'' &ndash; the opening &ndash; to knowledge and understanding of a fascinating, important, and too-long ignored piece of world history.
