In 1997 Hamilton Library began a pilot project to make selected, heavily used Hawaiian language newspapers available to students throughout the state of Hawaii who have access to the World Wide Web (WWW). These historical newspapers, published from the mid-nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries in Hawaii, were only available stored on microfilm. In an effort to make the information ccessible in places where local libraries did not have the microfilm or were unable to provide long hours of service, the pilot project goal was to digitallly scan selected articles pertinent to Hawaiian language and history courses and selected rolls of particularly significant Hawaiian language newspapers, index the images on a basic level, and mount them on a server for access via the World Wide Web.
