  • Hawaiʻi Congressional Papers Collection

    The Hawai'i Congressional Papers Collection (HCPC) preserves papers and memorabilia of thirteen of Hawaiʻi’s post-statehood members of Congress and its last Territorial Delegate, John Burns. The collection continues to grow with the addition of collections from Senators Daniel K. Inouye and Daniel Akaka.

    The Manuscript Collections document the people, history, culture, and politics of Hawai'i, supporting research, teaching, and public awareness. Major collections include the Hawai'i War Records Depository, the Japanese American Veterans Collection, and the records of the Institute of Pacific Relations and related organizations.

  • University Archives

NEW for 2022: The University Archives & Manuscript Collections have published a Spring Newsletter to its blog.

2019: UH Mānoa Library is launching a new, online catalog for archival materials to make searching for relevant collections easier!  This catalog currently has information on selected archival materials from the University Archives and Manuscript Collections, from the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections, and from the Charlot Collection.  The catalog is a work in progress, and we will continue to improve and expand existing collection records—as well as add information about additional collections—as time goes on.
