Additional Description

Custodial History

Sent to UH-Mānoa Library's Archives and Manuscripts Department in 2017 by Pamela Ho-Wong of the Hawaiʻi State Library's Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Section. According to correspondence included with the file of materials, Robert Van Orden purchased the file at the sale of Henry "Hank" Adams' estate (circa mid-1990s or earlier). In 2006, Van Orden sent the file to Claudine Fujii of the Hilo Public Library, but how and when it went from the Hilo Public Library to the Hawaiʻi State Library in Honolulu is unknown.
