Rusty Thomas Menu Collection Description of Collection: Harriet “Rusty” Thomas, as she was known because of her flaming red hair, was a food reviewer for the Honolulu Star Bulletin from 1949 to 1964. In her travels she collected a sizable collection of menus mostly from Hawaii and the Pacific region which she later donated to the Kapiolani Community College Food Services Program in April 1996. The menus were then turned over to the campus library for preservation and safe keeping. The physical collection is comprised of three boxes (containing a total of approximately 400-500 menus) covering a period from 1946 to around 1982 and are separated by category into (1) Hawaii, (2) Cruise Ship, and (3) Oversize menus. Each box has a listing (finding aid) of its contents and Box 1 has an overall listing, sorted by menu name, of the entire collection. In 2007 approximately 400 menus were digitized and put online in a digital library at http://166.122.17.78/gsdl/cgi-bin/library?p=about&c=rustytho, hosted by the Kapi‘olani Community College Library and Learning Resources. Finding Aid: A finding aid listing is attached and can be used to locate the physical menu and give information about its digitization status. It is a table of the following fields: Menu Name Name on the menu, usually referring to the restaurant name Menu # In cases of multiple menus for the same restaurant, each was assigned a number Box Box number of that the menu is located in Folder Name of the folder in which the menu can be found Online The menu is in the digital collection Filename If digitized, filename for the menu.
