Happy 50th to the Hōkūleʻa! For the whole month of March we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Hōkūleʻa's setting sail by sharing two videos from our large collection of material in the Polynesian Voyaging Society Subcollection in our public exhibit space. Come down to the @uhwolibrary or reach out to us online to view these programs and more that document the the history and the breadth of impact of this treasure of Hawaiʻi. #movingimagearchives #uhwo #UHWO #archivalfootage #archivistlife #movingimagearchive #archives #archives #hokulea #hokuleacrew #hōkūleʻa #hōkūleʻa50 #polynesianvoyagingsociety

We have two extra terrific @uhm_lis interns this Spring Semester. Say,
We are proud to share that this year, two of our staff received the Lei Lau Kukui award from the Society of American Archivist Student Chapter University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library and Information Science Program. The award was created in 2016 by the SAA-sc to recognize individuals who support archival education, mentoring, and leadership in Hawaiʻi. At this year's Association for Hawai'i Archivists Annual Meeting our Head Archivist, Janel Quirante and Reference and Outreach Archivist, Tisha Aragaki were recognized along with Dr. Ellen Rae Cachola, Public Services Supervisor and Archives Manager at the UHM Law Library. Thank you to SAA-sc for the honor and Congratulations to the awardees!
Late last year we lost an incredible Plantation Historian, Barbara Kawakami. Barbara made it to a remarkable 103 years old, and built her career as a public historian after returning to school in her 50s! We have also created a new theme of some of Barbara's work with the Center for Labor Education and Research. This theme contains interviews that she helped conduct and interviews in which she was the interviewee. Thank you, Barbara, for your amazing contributions to our knowledge on life in the plantations. We will miss you but are grateful to still have access to your legacy! Follow the links here or in our linktree. See our tribute to Barbara and her work, here: https://uluulu.westoahu.hawaii.edu/a-hui-hou-barbara/ Barbara Kawakami Theme: https://uluulu.recollectcms.com/nodes/view/47323
