‘Ulu‘ulu included in national online repository! Thank you to @uhwestoahu's Ka Puna O Ka Loʻi for sharing the news about our inclusion in the @saarchivistsʻ 250 for the 250th online exhibit. Follow the link in our bio for more!
Happy Summer! This June we are sharing some super duper blasts from the past! In the early 1970s CLEAR's Rice and Roses series shadowed different government workers and that shadowing included keepers at the Honolulu Zoo. Get a little behind the scenes peak at what the zoo was like 50 years ago. Jumping forward a little over 20 years later in 1998 Hawaiian Diving Adventures explored diving safety, ocean life and the work of the Waikiki Aquarium. As always, reach out to us for more information, or to stream these videos directly!
Congratulations to our colleague, Jon, on completing his Masters in Library and Information Science degree! Now he's officially an information professional! Huzzah! 🎉🎉🎉
ʻUluʻulu submitted one of our favorite programs, Hawaiian Soul, for the @saarchivists 250 for the 250th initiative. 250 for the 250th is "an online repository that tells the story of our country in documents." Victoria Keithʻs 1987 documentary features Kānaka Maoli discussing the contemporary meanings of mana and kuleana. The film remains a valuable resource, offering profound insights into the Hawaiian Renaissance, its unresolved issues and its enduring legacy. Follow the link below or in our bio to watch it and look at more of the documents that were submitted to create the online collections. https://td52e01bc4f4b6253.starter1ua.preservica.com/portal/en-US/asset/sdb%3AIO%7Ca7e78c83-6644-41d4-a8a7-a74b2d978c60
This month's public space screenings honor National Preservation Month and Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. We're featuring a News Reel from the 1940s that was created specifically for Hawaiʻi by George Taharaʻs Cine-Pic. The reel features a playful skit with J. Akuhead Pupule. The second program, is a documentary from the @picpacific collection. Made in Taiwan, follows Oscar Keightly and Nathan Rarere as they explore their DNA and cultural heritage leading from their families in Polynesia back to Taiwan.
