Hula Preservation Society

The Hula Preservation Society (HPS) will work with its partner, the Brigham Young University - Hawaii (BYU-HI) Library, to develop the technology to share access to their collections and increase access to primary source materials. The project will focus on material housed in the BYU-HI Library, cataloging and digitizing 800 photos and documents and 90 rare videos that make up a long neglected, unsorted collection of culturally significant moving and still images. The longer term goal is to develop HPS's capacity to maximize digital technology for cultural collection management while taking conservation measures to preserve original formats.
