Increase the visibility of Hawaiian archival materials by processing, reprocessing, and redescribing collections with reparative descriptions and piloting the application of the HKOS to a sampling of ƵM Library archival collections related to Native Hawaiian communities.
PROGRESS:
Under the direction of Helen Wong Smith, the University Archivist at Hamilton Library, she and her team have identified a few of the collections in the University Archives that have yet to be processed.
During the duration of the grant, her team has had several members come and go, but has continued to write down their workflows and progress. Their current team consists of Kyle Hart as our Archivist and two Graduate Research Assistants, Anayah Tora and Auliʻi Ludington.
Currently, they have completed processing the following six collections:
- John Charlot Papers
- Charlene Sato Center for Pidgin, Creole and Dialect Studies Records
- William Meinecke Papers
- John Reinecke Papers
- Rubelite Johnson Papers
If you are interested in their progress or contents of the processed collections, please visit their archive blog.
NEXT STEPS:
They are now addressing the following collections:
- Gwenfred Allen Papers
- Mauna Kea Working Group records in the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Affairs
