Did you know the Mission Houses Digital Collection

Did you know the Mission Houses Digital Collection website has an extensive journal collection that is digitized and you can access online?

This excerpt is from Reuben Tinkers 1830 Journal documenting his voyage from New England to the “Sandwhich islands” which includes beautiful illustrations of various sea creatures he came across. In this excerpt he says “The Squid flew on deck, just the size of the picture”

You can read his entire journals as well as many others on our Digital Collection website in the HMCS Library Journal Collection.

Work continues in making the numerous letters and journals in our archives accessible to everyone. With funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the focus is now on organizing and transcribing the Hawaiian Evangelical Association “Name Files” which have been previously digitized. This project includes creating “finding aids” in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i for the 1,101 individual authors, so that topics can be searched and cross-referenced in their original Hawaiian language.
