The archiving process


4/16/08 - 600 issues online!

4/4/08 - Adding remainder of 1963 and earlier Aloha Voter issues from our archives. Copies of most missing Aloha Voters found at Hamilton, except Mar-Sept 1970, still missing. Anyone?

3/25/08 - Added accessible pdf files for all Ka Leo Hanas - from the Newsletter index page (click on (pdf) next to the issue date).

2/28/08 - Adding missing issues from 1966-68 Aloha Voters from the Hawaiian Collection.

2/16/08 - Adding the missing year 1973 Aloha Voter issues from the Hawaiian Collection.

1/23/08 - I've discovered that the UH Hawaiian Collection at the Hamilton Library has extensive holdings of League newsletter back issues, and I've begun copying and adding these to our online (and pdf) archives. I'm currently adding the '63-'65 missing issues, and I'll try to fill in all our missing issues before continuing to work back towards the first issues.

1/12/08 - Please check the missing issues list if you have access to any old copies... Starting from the early '70s (going backwards) we're finding that many issues are missing or incomplete...

12/20/07 - This information page began. I'll post more about the archives, how to use them, how they are made, what the statistics show, etc., as the process continues... Check back for updates.


Leagues have newsletters. It's a fact of life. The League of Women Voters of Honolulu began in 1949... along with its newsletter, published about 10 times a year. The League of Women Voters of Hawaii, State League, began in 1965... along with its newsletter, published about quarterly.

Today I look at the statistics and see... over 5,000 articles online! Wow!

On December 17, 2007, after about a year and a half of work, Vol. 1, Number 1 of the State Newsltter was put online, making the complete collection of LWV Hawaii State newsletters, from 1965 to the present, available in searchable form. 1,570 articles from 142 issues, From Hawaii Voter Volume 1 Number 1 in April, 1965, to the latest Ka Leo Hana...

During the same period, LWV-Honolulu issues were regularly posted online -- on December 17 we had LWV-Hononlulu newsletters online from January 1974 to the present, articles from 319 issues... a combined total of almsot 4,000 pages of State and Honolulu League news going back over 40 years. Lists of League officers as reported in the newsletters were compiled simultaneously, and can be accessed here (still in progress).
