This partial index was created by Mary Kawena Pukui during her employment at Bernice P. Bishop Museum, from the 1930s through the 1950s. From the bound copies of the newspapers in the Bishop Museum Library she selected and translated articles which she thought would be useful for researchers.
In most cases, a typed transcript of the original Hawaiian text and Mrs. Pukui's English translation were then placed in what is called the Hawaiian Ethnographic Notes (HEN) collection which is currently held by Bishop Museum Archives. HEN contains significant material from many sources, including these (and other) newspaper articles. The HEN manuscripts are available for researchers during the Archives public hours (Tu-Fri 12-3, Sat 9-12).
