Introduction
The Digital Archive Collections at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa Library
include historical and cultural material in digital form, made accessible via the World Wide Web.
The Streetprint Engine began in 2002 when a collection of British street literature needed an online home, a place where students and researchers could interact with these fragile texts as though they were sitting down with the original artifacts. The technological complexity of this task soon became a problem. In search of a solution, the team in the Canada Research Chair Humanities Computing Studio of the University of Alberta developed Streetprint: free software that gives researchers and collectors easy-to-use tools to create powerful digital archives and share them on the web. Streetprint is a comprehensive content management system which can showcase much more than "street print." Click here for more information about, and/or to download the Streetprint software
The University of Hawaii at Manoa Libraries has been using Streetprint since 2005.

Collection Descriptions
Hawai'i War Records - U.S. Army Signal Corps Photographs includes
880 photographs taken by the U.S. Army Signal Corps and the U.S. Navy
between 1941 and 1946. They depict Army and Navy activities in Hawaii
and illustrate the military's relationship with Hawaii's civilian
population.
Hawaii/Pacific Film & Video Hawaii and the Pacific region have been favorite subjects for documentary filmmakers. One of the earliest films was made in Hawaii in 1906 (by Robert K. Bonine for Thomas Edison). It has been preserved by Library of Congress. However, the majority of film and video made in Hawaii in the 20th century has been lost, or is in danger of being lost in an environment with high humidity and warm temperatures year round. The University of Hawaii Preservation Department’s goal is to raise awareness about how much we have already lost, and the urgency of taking preservation steps.
