HONOLULU (HI Now) - Awaiaulu perpetuates Hawaiian knowledge by illuminating the historical trove of Hawaiian writings and by generating scholars who can comprehend that unique cache as it is rediscovered and reintegrated into the present. This native-language archive, estimated to equal nearly two million letter-sized pages of text, is unparalleled. It documents Hawaiʻi from ancient times, throughout the kingdom era, and well into the territorial period. Modern technology and a network of collaborative projects have now made nearly half of this cache accessible as digital images, most of which are in at least basic word-searchable formats.
