The newspapers include stories, chants, photographs and advertisements, political notices and letters to the editor and document a unique period in Hawaiian and American history. They also present the Hawaiian view of historical events, genealogy and culture.
Hawaii War Records Depository: Holds war-time photographs from the Hawai'i War Records Depository (HWRD), which was created in 1943 to document the impact of the war upon Hawai'i and its populace. HWRD has about 1,325 photographs; approx. 300 are clearly identified from Hawaii's two major English newspapers and have been scanned with permission.
Trust Territory Photo Archives: The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands included the Micronesian archipelagoes of the Marshalls, Carolines and Marianas during the U.S. administrative period from 1947 to 1994. The archive contains over 52,000 photographs and approximately 8,000 have been scanned. The photographs visually document nearly 50 years of the U.S. administration's programs in education, health, political and economic development."
