Become an Honorary Curator at a Historic Library in Honolulu

Overview

Our hands-on archivist experience at the Hawaiian Mission Houses Historic Site and Archives offers a truly unique opportunity to walk in the shoes of a historian and archivist for three hours in a historically renowned institution. You will get exclusive access to rare historical artifacts and documents, along with a chance to actively contribute to the preservation of Hawai'i's rich cultural heritage. Unlike a traditional museum tour, you get to interact and become intimate with little-known details of Hawaiʻi’s past, allowing you to explore the history and also leave a lasting impact by doing an analysis of an archival document or photo that will be used by researchers worldwide - all while being guided by an expert historian and archivist. Lastly, your name will be credited on the digitized record as a contributor on our digital collection website!
