AG-068 · Fonds · 1945 - 2001

AG-068 contains the records of six political and peacekeeping missions active in Haiti during the 1990s:

International Civilian Mission in Haiti, OAS/UN (MICIVIH), 1993-2000
United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH), 1993-1996
United Nations Support Mission in Haiti (UNSMIH), 1996-1997
United Nations Transition Mission in Haiti (UNTMIH), 1997
United Nations Civilian Police Mission in Haiti (MIPONUH), 1997-2000
International Civilian Support Mission in Haiti (MICAH), 2000-2001

The concurrent deployment of the various missions resulted in administrative and operational integration in the field and during the transport of records at the box, folder, and item levels. Because of this, the records for the Haiti missions have been retained and arranged in one fonds, instead of in separate fonds.

A mission has been identified for all files in the collection. The name of the mission is indicated in the Office of Origin field at the folder level. This enables searches for specific missions. In addition, the acronym for the name of the mission is written in the upper left corner of the folder.

Some folders contain documents for several missions. For these folders, the name of the mission was determined by the majority of documents in the folder.

For a few folders, a specific Haiti mission could not be identified. In these cases, a best effort was made to identify a mission, and brackets were drawn around the acronym for the name of the mission written in the upper left corner of the folder.

The functional description of records in AG-068 is based on the “Peacekeeping and Political Operations Retention Schedule,” DPKO/DFS, v. 3, June 2011. The names of the series comprising AG-068 were drawn from the records series listed in the retention schedule. During archival processing, the files were assigned to series based on their function. Mission-specific Offices of Origin are indicated at the box level and are derived from the mission’s organizational structure. Accessions originating from the offices of the Heads of Mission were not broken up and were assigned to S-1872.

The Haiti missions in AG-068 produced records in the following languages: French (75%), English (15%), and Creole (10%). Folders containing records predominantly in English have been screened at the item level and the appropriate Security Level has been indicated in TRIM. When French or Creole language documents were observed in these folders, they were placed in subfolders for future item-level security screening. Folders containing records predominantly in French have not been screened. [No Security Level] is indicated for these folders in TRIM, and Not Yet Screened has been written on these folders.

The Winthrop Group, Inc., carried out archival processing on AG-068 from October 2012 to May 2013.
