'Tiff' files listed for the stories (selected from the newspapers Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Ke Alaula, Ke Au Okoa, and Ka Puuhonua o na Hawaii) were scanned during Phase II.

Ka Lanakila was not completed partly because processing of the Ka Lei Momi files took longer than expected. The Lei Momi f microfilm images were significantly skewed and required 5-8 minutes of manipulation per page to clean up the GIF image files. The procedure involved the following steps:

1. Open tif file; if file is not square increase colors to 256 (1 minute);
2. Rotate page as necessary -- 1 to 3 degrees; reduce colors back to B/W (3 minutes);
3. Using cut/copy tool, select image; copy and paste as new document (up to 4 min.);
4. Enlarge view, trim edges around text;
5. Resize document to 1116 x 1809; save document
