Co-create a Hawaiian language newspaper index to improve the discoverability of community-indexed information in Hawaiian language newspapers and pilot the application of HKOS to a sampling of records.
PROGRESS:
The Nūppea Index project was originally started by Kapena Shim to provide a community index of Hawaiian-language newspapers. The index plans to be a freely available open-source database that will allow for future community-centered indexes to be contributed.
With the hire of Ani Kawada, our Hawaiʻi Cataloger/Metadata Librarian, the Nūpepa Index team has reviewed and standardized 7 different indexes, with approximately 38,000 indexed entries.
NEXT STEPS:
- Develop and create the software for the Nūpepa Index
- Ingest the 7 community partner collections
- Revise and edit any issues that might be found in the Index.
PROJECT TEAM:
- Project Lead: Kapena Shim, Hawaiian Collection Librarian at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
