Report of the Librarian LADIES AND GEKTLEMEN: It is with especial plellsnre that I am able to announce that the promises of t\\"0 years and more are at last fulfilled, aud that the work ,,·hich bad been interrupted and deferred from time to time bas been cOlllpleted. Happily we ,,·ere able to arrange with the Library of Ha­ waii to secure the services of :Miss Oarpenter for a period of six weeks; also to enp;age !1:iss Daphne Damon, a trained libra­ rian, for five months. Dnring this time the two ,\;ere able to bring most of the work up-to-date. This work, ,,-hich !fiss Oarpenfer has fully outlined for this report, comprised the care­ ful examination of a large number of pamphlets, and the sort­ ing, covering, classifying and cataloging of each. Single pam­ phlets "ere put into covers and treated as books, ,,-hile contin­ uations, such as reports and societ,v publications, were placed in pamphlet boxes, awaiting binding as files are completed. Each pamphlet was carefully classified and catalogued the same as are the books of the library. The result is an analytical card catalog equal in size to the card catalog for the books. J n time these two catalogs will be filed together and will form a llseful guide to all the resources of the library. The pam­ phlets whether in single cm'ers or in boxes have been put upon the shelves with the books in one classification, so that all material on a subject, wbether in pamphlet or book form, stands together. Besides the cataloging \york, in which we may justly take pride, sevent:v-fiYe volumes newly bound a\\'ait the futme cataloger. These yolumes include reports of the various Ha­ \I'aiian GoYel'llment offices, of the Hawauan Evangelical So­ ('iety, the London 'Missionary Society, the Hawaiian :Missionary Society, the American Board of Foreign Missions, some vol­ umes of the Missionary Herald and The Friend, the Bishop ~[llseum U~oirs and Papers, the Essex Institllte Historical Collection, ten volumes of the ~(jd-Pacific Magazinf', the Kohala Uidget and four bound volllmes of Ka Hokn 0 Hawaii presented by Mr. ·Westervelt. The Society has acqllired by pnrchase a copy of The Dutch East by J. Macmillan Brown; Stewart's Handbook of the Pacific Islands, and Thrum's Annual for 1919. It has received the llsua1 exchange, also a recOl'd of the nchievements of David Douglas, Botanist at Hawaii, presented hy the compiler, W. F. Wilson; and many valuable pamphlets that ,yere sent in by Mr. G. P. Oastle. Throllgh exchange ·with the Bishop i(useum two koa cases with glass tops \I'ere placed in the rooms of the Societ,v. These give opportunity for the display of a number of interest­ ing letters and documents loaned by :Mr. Henriques. In one bas been arranged a grollp of Hawaiian text books printed in early missionary days on the Lahainaluna press, that have at­ tracted the interested attention of visitors. :Many have become interested in the Society and its \yolk _\ I1llmber of additions were made to the membership. Six haye \\·ithdnl\l'n and \ve have to rccord six deaths. EDNA T. XLJ~YX. 10 Report of the Genealogical Committee :M:R.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE MATERIALS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, MANOA CAMPUS Second Printing, 1979 Photocopy, Summer 1986 ,i ~ Foreword Each year the Pacific Islands Program plans to duplicate inexpensively a few work papers whose contents appear to justify a wider distribution than that of classroom contact or intra-University circulation. For the most part, they will consist of student papers submitted in academic courses and which, in their respective ways, represent a contribution to existing knowledge of the Pacific. Their subjects will be as varied as is the multi-disciplinary interests of the Program and the wealth of cooperation received from the many Pacific-interested members of the University faculty and the cooperating com­ munity.

F. Young Kehau Kahapea Velda Yamanaka , . • Revised 1974 Second Printing, 1979 PREFACE The Hawaiian Collection of the University of Hawaii Library is perhaps the world's largest, numbering more than 50,000 volumes. As students of the Hawaiian language, we have a particular interest in the Hawaiian language texts in the Collection. Up to now, however, there has been no single master list or file through which to gain access to all the Hawaiian language materials. This is an attempt to provide such list. We culled the bibliographical information from the Hawaiian Collection Catalog and the Library she1flists. We attempted to gather together all available materials in the Hawaiian language, on all subjects, whether imprinted on paper or microfilm, on tape or phonodisc.

PMB Manuscript series of Microfilms AU PMB MS 09 Title: Tapu: a tale of adventure in the South Seas (a novel) Date(s): After 1894 (Creation) Moors, Harry J. Extent and medium: 1 reel; 35mm microfilm Description: Harry J. Moors (1854-1926) was born in Detroit and died in Apia, Western Samoa. As an agent for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration, he made several voyages to the Gilbert Islands and Marshall Islands around 1880 to recruit labourers for Hawaii's sugar plantations. In 1883, he settled in Apia, Western Samoa, and became a successful trader and planter. Moors was closely associated with Robert Louis Stevenson during the novelist's five years (1889-1894) in Samoa and in 1910 he published a book of reminiscences entitled With Stevenson in Samoa. Moors stated in that book that Stevenson had once urged him to write down some of the 'wonderful stories' he had related to Stevenson about his early career. Moors acted on this encouragement, and after Stevenson died, he wrote two novels, of which Tapu: A Tale of Adventure in the South Seas is one. Neither of the novels was published. See also the Bureau's newsletter <1>Pambu, September 1968:4. The novel is based on Moors' experiences in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands as a labour recruiter for the Hawaiian Board of Immigration.

  • Ministry in Sudan from Local Churches Here This Comes to Us from Tom Bridgman, Area Representative of Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York
    April 2010 Volume 42, No. 4 Around The Conference Ministry in Sudan from Local Churches Here This comes to us from Tom Bridgman, Area Representative of Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York. It was written by Bob Kirkman of Grace Church Congregational in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. …and they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work. Nehemiah 2:18 Since 2004, CCCC churches from the New York/New England region have joined hands with Operation Nehemiah Missions (ONMI) to support and encourage the suffering church and the marginalized people of South Sudan. The Coila Church in Cambridge, New York has donated medical equipment, funds for solar panels, eyeglasses, well drilling equipment and malaria medicine for ONMI’s mission compound in Borongole, South Sudan. The Congregational Church of New Lebanon, New York, has donated eye equipment, funds for a roof for the clinic and a mobile medical unit. Elder Bob Kirkman of Grace Church Beth Israel Church in Action (before pews) Congregational in Pittsfield has served as the coordinator for ONMI’s medical mission, and has gone on twelve medical mission trips to the Sudan with the support of these churches, and Grace Church has sponsored the education of many young Sudanese in exile in Uganda. In 2000, ONMI founded a church, Beth Israel on the Nile Messianic Congregation, in the wilderness of southern Sudan. The church was established to serve returning Sudanese Christians who had been displaced by the war, five years before the peace agreement was signed. The church originally met under a large tree.

  • Mission Stations
    Mission Stations The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), based in Boston, was founded in 1810, the first organized missionary society in the US. One hundred years later, the Board was responsible for 102-mission stations and a missionary staff of 600 in India, Ceylon, West Central Africa (Angola), South Africa and Rhodesia, Turkey, China, Japan, Micronesia, Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, North American native American tribes, and the "Papal lands" of Mexico, Spain and Austria. On October 23, 1819, the Pioneer Company of ABCFM missionaries set sail on the Thaddeus to establish the Sandwich Islands Mission (now known as Hawai‘i). Over the course of a little over 40-years (1820- 1863 - the “Missionary Period”), about 180-men and women in twelve Companies served in Hawaiʻi to carry out the mission of the ABCFM in the Hawaiian Islands. One of the earliest efforts of the missionaries, who arrived in 1820, was the identification and selection of important communities (generally near ports and aliʻi residences) as “Stations” for the regional church and school centers across the Hawaiian Islands. As an example, in June 1823, William Ellis joined American Missionaries Asa Thurston, Artemas Bishop and Joseph Goodrich on a tour of the island of Hawaiʻi to investigate suitable sites for mission stations. On O‘ahu, locations at Honolulu (Kawaiahaʻo), Kāne’ohe, Waialua, Waiʻanae and ‘Ewa served as the bases for outreach work on the island. By 1850, eighteen mission stations had been established; six on Hawaiʻi, four on Maui, four on Oʻahu, three on Kauai and one on Molokai. Meeting houses were constructed at the stations, as well as throughout the district.

CINCINNATI•:• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK C.OMPANY Digitized by Google ' .. HARVARD COLLEGELIBRAllY BEQUESTOF RCLANOBUr.ll,' , ,E DIXOII f,'.AY 19, 1936 0oPYBIGRT, 1891, BY AlilBIOAN BooK Co)[PA.NY. W. P. 2 1 Digit zed by Google \ PREFACE AT the request of the Board of Education, I have .fi. endeavored to write a simple and concise history of the Hawaiian people, which, it is hoped, may be useful to the teachers and higher classes in our schools. As there is, however, no book in existence that covers the whole ground, and as the earlier histories are entirely out of print, it has been deemed best to prepare not merely a school-book, but a history for the benefit of the general public. This book has been written in the intervals of a labo­ rious occupation, from the stand-point of a patriotic Hawaiian, for the young people of this country rather than for foreign readers. This fact will account for its local coloring, and for the prominence given to certain topics of local interest. Especial pains have been taken to supply the want of a correct account of the ancient civil polity and religion of the Hawaiian race. This history is not merely a compilation. It is based upon a careful study of the original authorities, the writer having had the use of the principal existing collections of Hawaiian manuscripts, and having examined the early archives of the government, as well as nearly all the existing materials in print.
