Hawaiian & Pacific Collections


T
he Hawaiian and Pacific Collections are internationally recognized research collections. All formats, languages, subjects, eras and levels of treatment are collected. Each Collection also includes manuscripts and archives, such as Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association (HSPA) Plantation Archives, Dole Corporation Archives, and Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands Archives.

The Collections have their own reference service, circulation counter and hours. Many services vary from the general Library procedures -- for more information, see the Policies links below.

NOTICE REGARDING LIBRARY HOURS: From December 2 through December 10, 2009, repairs to cracks in the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections reading room walls will be made. Attendant noise and dust may necessitate closure of the reading room during all or some of this period. At present, we are awaiting more information from the construction contractor, and will post updates as they become available. Please check back here, or on our departmental blog.

In addition, Owing to recent budget cuts, the entire UH-Manoa library (including the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections) will be closed to the public Thursday, November 26 through Saturday November 28, 2009; throughout Winter Interim (December 19, 2009 - January 10, 2010) and Spring Recess (March 22 through 26, 2010). During these periods, Hawaiian and Pacific Collection librarians will respond to e-mail reference queries as staffing permits, but all other H&P services will be unavailable.
