Ka Huli Ao Digital Archives of Hawaiian Kingdom Announced

Today's Honolulu Star Advertiser features news of a new digital archive of documents relating to the Hawaiian Kingdom, Ka Huli Ao Digital Archives. Ka Huli Ao Digital Archives is dedicated to the collection and dissemination of digitized documents of legal, historic and cultural significance for Hawai‘i.

"In collaboration with the Hawai‘i State Archives we have amassed a collection of approximately three hundred thousand images of historic documents ranging from the Kingdom of Hawai‘i's original Constitution to the journals of the proceedings of the House of Nobles. In an effort to create greater access and greater functionality of the collection the images are being transcribed or processed using optical character recognition, and the resulting text is being mounted, along with the document images, on this website."
