"Diversity: Part of the American Dream," an exhibit mounted by the University Archives and Manuscripts commemorating American Archives Month, will be on display in the Moir Reading Room at UH Mānoa's Hamilton Library, phase III, room A550. The exhibit is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays by appointment.
 
Exhibit draws on holdings in Archives and Manuscripts showing the University's history of diversity. Though much more exists in the holdings than is shown in the exhibit, the representational exhibit features war brides interviews, letters from Japanese American servicenen during World War II to Dr. Andrew Lind of the Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratory and others, student papers studying the sociology of Hawaii, posters and photographs from Hawaiʻi War Records Depository, and Graduating Class Photographs.
