tens of thousands of fragile newsprint
pages, from a period that ranges over 100 years, sit in archives and
collections around the islands. But with only 1.2 percent of the
population currently able to speak Hawaiian, much of the information
they contain is inaccessible to those for whom it would be most
relevant.
In the video above, we
visit with a group of Hawaiian-language scholars who are now working to
scan, catalog, and translate this archive. The hope is that by
digitizing and opening up access to the stories within these lost
newspapers, a crucial resource will be available for generations to
come.
