History and Humanities
(Updated June 20, 2008)
Purpose
The History and Humanities Program was created in 1980 to help steward history and the humanities in Hawai‘i. The HSFCA is one of only a few state agencies in the nation that includes history and humanities among its established responsibilities.
Program Services
Over the years, the History and Humanities Program has assisted Hawai‘i's historical and cultural museums and organizations in the preservation and management of historical and cultural resources through scheduled seminars and workshops.
Publications
In 2001, the History and Humanities Program was awarded an American Association for State and Local History Certificate of Commendation for its Hawai‘i Statewide Guide to Historical Resources Series. Published between 1986 and 2000, the guides are annotated bibliographies that identify publications and other resources, and the location of the resources in the state. Copies, at the time of publication, were distributed statewide to schools, historical and cultural organizations and libraries. Although out-of-print, the guides continue to be useful to students and researchers of Hawai‘i history.
PDF files of these out-of-print guides can be downloaded here.
