Last month History Education Hawaii initiated a unique blog project. This one focuses on how the Fourth of July American Independence Day holiday has been celebrated in Hawaii.
Go to this link for this insightful historical blog site. All of the text content is directly transcribed from Hawaii-based newspaper sources such as The Friend, The Polynesian, the Pacific Commercial Advertiser (today's Honolulu Star Advertiser) and so on.
For example, go to this link for an editorial published in The Polynesian -the official voice of the Hawaiian Government- that appeared in the July 4, 1846 edition. Read how the 4th of July was celebrated in Hanalei, Kauai in 1866 as published in the Pacific Commercial Advertiser that year. Want to learn how the 4th of July was celebrated in the Manoa Valley house of Haalilio in 1840? Read this story from The Polynesian.
Looking for a project? We are in need to volunteers to transcribe articles for future postings. Please contact History Education Hawaii at historyeducationhawaii@gmail.com.
And stay tuned! We'll have an announcement soon -and a call for volunteers- because the number of topic-centered historical blogs is expanding!
If you are excited about history, and we know that you are, we think the future is looking bright!
