[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO”]

A highly valuable book.—Here amongst us is a malihini, George Bowser is his name, and he has began to prepare information about these islands to publish a Directory showing the condition, state, and everything pertaining to the income and the finance of Hawaii nei. It will show the occupation, residence and name of each businessman amongst the haole and the kanaka maoli. It will show the locations of the sugar mills, rice plantations, and others; their size and their overseers. It will show the major industries and their owners. It will also show the state of each district across the land, and what kinds of businesses are being run, and it would seem that the significance of this book is that it will have complete information about the areas inhabited by man, the work that is done, and the position and names of the people. This is a valuable book, and there should not be a lack of benefits coming from its references and illustrations. He will try to sell some of these books to Hawaiians who understand English. We hope that this progressive and beneficial endeavor will go well.

[This book is published as The Hawaiian Kingdom Statistical and Commercial Directory and Tourist’s Guide, 1880–1881.]

Queen Emma, Honolulu Library and Reading Room, and the Hawaiian Historical Society, 1886 / 2014.

[Found under: “LOCAL NEWS”]

The library which was left by the will of the late Queen Emma to the Honolulu Library and Reading Room Association has been all catalogued, and is now upon exhibition at the library building on Hotel street, where the public are invited to inspect it for the remainder of this week, after which the books will be placed upon the shelves for circulation. The library donated by Queen Emma is about 500 volumes of general history, voyages, travels, etc. This will bring the total number of books in the library up to about 4,700 volumes.

[Queen Emma’s books eventually found their way to the Hawaiian Historical Society, where they are cared for today!]

Library and Reading Room.

We are pleased to see that this institution which is designed to meet a real need in this community, is exhibiting a very commendable degree of enterprise in the line of its appointed work. At the last business meeting, a new Constitution and By Laws were adopted, of the most liberal and practical character. The membership is now open to all respectable persons of sixteen years old and upwards without qualification of race, creed, or any distinction whatever either natural or artificial. The rooms are open every week day from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m., and on Sundays, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. Books from the library may be drawn out and returned every day and evening except Sundays. By the last arrival from San Francisco an invoice of books was received embracing a number of the latest works of the most popular authors. These are now on the shelves and at the disposal of members. The library which already contains nearly nine hundred volumes and is constantly increasing, comprises a very good and diversified collection of reading, calculated to suit a variety of tastes. The supply of papers and periodicals regularly supplied to the reading room is for a town of this size exceedingly liberal. Some of these are subscribed for by the association and others are furnished through the liberality of friends. The following can be found on the tables at all times. Continue reading

A new Hawaiian hymnal at press, 1914.

HAWAIIAN HYMNAL

This book is being printed at the office of the “New Freedom,” where “Ke Aloha Aina” is being printed, and if you want to have a copy of this beautiful book, put in your order before the 1st of December. The cost is $2.50, and your name will be inscribed on the cover of the book. What was advertised earlier, that the cost was two dollars along with inscribing your name on the cover was a mistake. That (two dollars) is the cost if you don’t want the owner’s name printed.

[Does anyone know what book this is referring to?]

Hawaiian Language Imprints, Judd, Bell, and Murdoch, 1978.

This is a nice bibliography of Hawaiian-language material written between 1822 and 1899 compiled by Bernice Judd, Janet E. Bell, and Clare G. Murdoch in 1978. What is nice about this is that it lists where known copies at the time were located. Unfortunately, this online copy is not easily searchable like the 1869 Bibliography of the Hawaiian Islands in the last post. If you do a search, you will only be pointed to the word in the typescript, but if you want to know where it appears on the image of the original, you will only be pointed to the page where it appears. There is supposed to be another copy on Project Gutenberg, but the file seems to be corrupt. On Project Gutenberg, you would be able to do a word search against the image of the original with it highlighting the word or phrase searched for.

“The Value of Hawaiʻi 2,” 2014 and beyond.

The last post reminded me of this newly released must read, The Value of Hawaiʻi 2: Ancestral Roots, Oceanic Visions, edited by Aiko Yamashiro and Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua. This is a book of essays all of us should sit down with, and let it allow us to ask of ourselves now what we think is important for our island community and what it is we want to leave behind for the future and what then we must do in order to achieve this…

How can more of us protect and create waiwai, value, for coming generations?

Culturally-rich education. Holistic health systems. Organic farming and aquaculture. Creative and conscious urban development. Caring for one another across difference. Telling our stories.

Continuing the conversation of The Value of Hawai‘i: Knowing the Past, Shaping the Future, this new collection offers passionate and poignant visions for our shared futures in these islands. The fresh voices gathered in this book share their inspiring work and ideas for creating value, addressing a wide range of topics: community health, agriculture, public education, local business, energy, gender, rural lifestyles, sacred community, activism, storytelling, mo‘olelo, migration, voyaging, visual art, music, and the ‘āina we continue to love and mālama. By exploring connections to those who have come before and those who will follow after, the contributors to this volume recenter Hawai‘i in our watery Pacific world. Their autobiographical essays will inspire readers to live consciously and lead as island people.

Essay contributors: Jeffrey Tangonan Acido, Kamana Beamer, Makena Coffman, Sean Connelly, Elise Leimomi Dela Cruz-Talbert, Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua, Consuelo Agarpao Gouveia, Tina Grandinetti, John “Prime” Hina, Sania Fa‘amaile Betty P. Ickes, Bonnie Kahapea-Tanner, Joseph Keawe‘aimoku Kaholokula, Kainani Kahaunaele, Hi‘ilei Kawelo, Keone Kealoha, Dawn Mahi, Ryan Oishi, Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio, Eri Oura, Mark Kawika Patterson, Hawane Rios, Cheryse Julitta Kauikeolani Sana, Dean Itsuji Saranillio, Lyz Soto, Cade Watanabe, Aiko Yamashiro, Matt N. Yamashita, and Aubrey Morgan Yee.
