Overview

Collection of photos by the Office of University Relations and Development (OURD), documents student activities, school life, faculty and buildings on campus at the University of Hawaiʻi during the early 1900’s, mainly the 1930s to the 1960s. These photos and prints document people, events, trends and places that no longer exist, or have been altered over time. As an integral part of the UH system, OURD compiled this extensive collection depicting photos of activities, campus buildings, UH Mānoa students and faculty which helped to shape the history and culture of UH Mānoa. Evident in this collection are records of the University of Hawaiʻi’s development, student life, campus events and accomplishments spanning several decades. Most photos have names listed on the backs of photos of individuals, or the location pictures were taken of. These photos are arranged by three different series: Individuals, Groups, Buildings and Activities.

Arrangement

The collection has been divided into 3 series, 1) UH Activities 2) UH Buildings and 3) Individuals and Groups. They were kept in the original order, which was arranged by series then alphabetically by title or last name and further organized chronologically. Oversized items were separated and noted within the finding aid.

Processing Information

Some of the collection have been consolidated, folders have been replaced, and non-acidic paper were added for better preservation of photographs and negatives within the collection.
