I passed this before i got off the bus at Punchbowl today, and so i walked back and took a picture. Here is a nice description of some of the events taking place this Sunday, September, 2, 2012.
Also, one week later on the 8th, more celebration, Hilo style.

[It seems the Senate Honored the entertainers and workers of the Lexington Hotel’s Hawaiian Room on its 75th anniversary just the other month!
There is also going to be a presentation related to this at the Distinctive Women in Hawaiian History Program on Saturday, September 15, 2012)
Unfortunately, the available digital image is as seen below, the actual newspaper image should probably be much more clear and legible.]

The many pictures below show Arthur Rice fishing with a throw net, one of the foremost fishermen using a throw net. These are pictures taken recently at Kipukai, Kauai.

THROWING.
GOING TO RETRIEVE THE NET.
RETURNING TO LAND WITH THE NET AND THE FISH CAUGHT.
[The newspapers don’t only contain words. After about 1900 there appear photos, and many like these are much clearer in the original. There needs to be clear shots of the papers done. I almost could not make out some of the text in the top description!]

Does anyone recognize the name Maewaikalani (from the mele in the last post, “He Inoa no ke Oho o Kapiolani” by Mrs. Kaleihiwahiwa) as a known name for Kapiolani?

[This newspaper, Ka Elele Poakolu, is yet another one not available online even if it is microfilmed. I am not sure how ulukau.org missed digitizing this when they were under agreement many years ago to put up all of the available newspapers online… To view the pages, you have to find your way down to one of the institutions which have Hawaiian-Language Newspaper microfilms.
Might anyone have any biographical information on Mrs. Kaleihiwahiwa?]
(Elele Poakolu, 4/13/1881, p. 6)
Ka Elele Poakolu, Buke II, helu 6, Aoao 6. Aperila 13, 1881.
I believe Queen Kapiolani exhorted: “Kulia i ka nuu! [Strive for the summit!]” and not “Kulia i kahi hiki! [Strive to get to where is possible]”
Today i noticed there is yet another volunteer project trying to get people to type in text from the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers using images that are not clear. This time people are being asked to correct text done by Cambodians. I won’t speak on the ramifications of using Cambodians to OCR Hawaiian newspapers, because that is a whole separate issue in itself.
I will say once again, however, that i believe the information written in the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers is important enough to reproduce accurately so that we can search and find what was originally written within its pages. I don’t know if there is anyone who feels any different.
The example given in the ad calling for volunteers shows precisely why we need to FIRST get good, clean images of the newspapers AND THEN typescript them so they are word-searchable. The highlighted column will never be fully legible using this image, because there is a big fold running down the left side, obscuring two or three letters in each line. There are pages and pages like this (and many are even less legible).
Is getting 70 or 80 or 90% of the words sufficient? What if your kupuna wrote something or was written about; would 90% of it be good enough for you? What if the one time her name was mentioned in the article was a part that was folded over, or was too dark to read…
Volunteer for the inside???

http://www.nupepa-hawaii.com is the easiest way to look through the tags from all the previously uploaded articles.
The next choice on the bar to the right side of the page is TAGS.
The tags are the next on the right bar. The larger the tag is, the more articles there are related to the tags. Currently it seems there are quite a number of articles dealing with the Bishop Museum, Chronicling America, Hawaiian flag, Kamehameha III, and Kamehameha Schools.
