practice. The creation of an indigenous-centered controlled vocabulary will provide the intellectual, indigenous-grounded access that will better serve researchers. 10 of the 40 finding aids will be newly created. To broaden access to the contents of HPS’s
video-based elder oral history library, this project will make these products widely available online via the HPS website, the University of Hawaii library system, and the Papakilo Database of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
