  • Photographically Illustrated Books About Hawai'i, 1854-1945
    LYNN ANN DAVIS Photographically Illustrated Books about Hawai'i, 1854-1945 THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY surveys books and pamphlets about Hawai'i with photographic illustrations.1 The first book illustration, from a daguerreotype, was an engraved portrait of the heir to the Hawaiian throne, Alexander Liholiho, published in 1854. The bibliography ends with the close of World War II in the Pacific in 1945. From the 1850s on, the U.S. government was increasingly interested in Hawai'i's strategic location. The Hawaiian Islands were the winter port for the American whaling fleet in the 1840s and 1850s. The discovery of gold in California in 1849 brought Americans to the West Coast, and by 1853 there were covert discussions about the possible annexation of the Islands by the United States. In January 1893 the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. An interim government was established, and businessmen with American ties lobbied the U.S. government for territorial status. This politically tumultuous period coincided with a development in printing tech- nology that, for the first time, made it possible to easily and cheaply reproduce continuous tone photographs by making halftone repro- ductions. Lynn Ann Davis is from Kane'ohe, O'ahu. She is Head of the Preservation Department at the University of Hawai'i at Mdnoa Library and previously worked at Bishop Museum as Chairman of the Archives and Visual Collections from 1973—93- She received a master's degree from University of New Mexico in 1984, and has published books and articles about photography in Hawai 'i.

  • Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015
    STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN 2015 Department of Land & Natural Resources ii Hawai‘i Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015 Update PREFACE The Hawai‘i State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2015 Update is prepared in conformance with a basic requirement to qualify for continuous receipt of federal grants for outdoor recreation projects under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act, Public Law 88-758, as amended. Through this program, the State of Hawai‘i and its four counties have received more than $38 million in federal grants since inception of the program in 1964. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has the authority to represent and act for the State in dealing with the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of the LWCF Act of 1965, as amended, and has taken the lead in preparing this SCORP document with the participation of other state, federal, and county agencies, and members of the public. The SCORP represents a balanced program of acquiring, developing, conserving, using, and managing Hawai‘i’s recreation resources. This document employs Hawaiian words in lieu of English in those instances where the Hawaiian words are the predominant vernacular or when there is no English substitute. Upon a Hawaiian word’s first appearance in this plan, an explanation is provided. Every effort was made to correctly spell Hawaiian words and place names. As such, two diacritical marks, ‘okina (a glottal stop) and kahakō (macron) are used throughout this plan. The primary references for Hawaiian place names in this plan are the book Place Names of Hawai‘i (Pukui, 1974) and the Hawai‘i Board on Geographic Names (State of Hawai‘i Office of Planning, 2014).

    Creating “Paradise of the Pacific”: How Tourism Began in Hawaii by James Mak Working Paper No. 2015-1 February 3, 2015 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MANOA 2424 MAILE WAY, ROOM 540 • HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I 96822 WWW.UHERO.HAWAII.EDU WORKING PAPERS ARE PRELIMINARY MATERIALS CIRCULATED TO STIMULATE DISCUSSION AND CRITICAL COMMENT. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS. Creating “Paradise of the Pacific”: How Tourism Began in Hawaii James Mak Professor Emeritus of Economics and Fellow, University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI. 96822 U.S.A. February 3, 2015 Abstract This article recounts the early years of one of the most successful tourist destinations in the world, Hawaii, from about 1870 to 1940. Tourism began in Hawaii when faster and more predictable steamships replaced sailing vessels in trans-Pacific travel. Governments (international, national, and local) were influential in shaping the way Hawaii tourism developed, from government mail subsidies to steamship companies, local funding for tourism promotion, and America’s protective legislation on domestic shipping. Hawaii also reaped a windfall from its location at the crossroads of the major trade routes in the Pacific region. The article concludes with policy lessons. Key words: Hawaii, tourism, tourism development Acknowledgement: I thank Dore Minatodani, Senior Librarian, Hawaiian Collection at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Library, for her kind assistance. 1 Introduction Hawaii is a dream vacation destination for millions of people around the world. U.S. News and World Report rates Maui the best vacation destination in the U.S.1 Maui is also rated fourth best place to visit in the world, the second best place to honeymoon, and the best summer vacation destination.2 Kauai is second in the world in having the best beaches; Honolulu is number five in best family vacations; and the island of Hawaii (Big Island) is fourteenth in the best islands category.
