This $164,850 federal Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Native American and Native Hawaiian Library Services (NANH-L) program (CFDA 45.311) will support the Waimea Valley Library in Haleiwa, Hawaii to inventory, catalog, and rehouse its materials and collection. This will make the library's resources more accessible to Native Hawaiians, Native Hawaiian scholars, other scholars, and the people of Hawaii. Additionally, the project staff will work with Native Hawaiian advisors to develop teaching materials that encourage Native Hawaiians to have pride in their cultural identity and pass it on to future generations. Upon completion, the Waimea Valley Library will have celebrated and shared the vibrant and living Hawaiian culture with the rest of the world.
