1830rif. 63884N.p.: American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ca. 1830s. Original Questionnaire for Hawaiian Missionaries A questionnaire produced by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM directed towards new missionaries to Hawaii. The Board was founded in 1810 by graduates from Williams College and sent its first missionaries to British India in 1812. Beginning in the 1820s the ABCFM sent twelve companies of missionaries to Hawaii many of whom became instrumental figures in the public life of the Islands in the 19th century. The questionnaire consists of two conjugate leaves: the first contains twenty-two questions and is directed at the missionary. The second leaf is headed "For Females" and contains fifteen questions. In addition to personal questions such as nativity and educational background missionaries are asked to provide information about when and where they were converted licensed and ordained when they "first decided in favor of becoming a missionary to the heathen" what their role was in the mission "if not an evangelist physician or printer" and details of their vessel and journey. The questionnaire for females asks mostly similar questions but omits those related to preaching and ministry in favor of questions about children and family. This form is addressed to "J.S. Emerson & Mrs. Emerson." John S. and Ursula Sophia Newell Emerson arrived in Hawaii in 1832 as members of the fifth company of missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. John S. Emerson 1800-67 was born in Chester New Hampshire and graduated from Dartmouth College and Andover Theological Seminary. In 1831 he married Ursula Sophia Newell 1806-88 of Nelson New Hampshire the couple soon thereafter embarking for Hawaii. Except for an interval at the Mission Seminary at Lahainaluna Maui in the 1840s and a return visit to the United States in 1860-61 the couple spent the rest of their lives in Waialua Oahu. There they founded a Protestant Church and established schools - John instructing the boys and Ursula instructing the girls in not only academics but in singing sewing and other domestic work. A remarkable survival from the early days of Christian missionary activity in Hawaii. Old folds lower fold just beginning to split. Very good plus. unknown

1925rif. 227841925. SS Resolute photo archive approximately 86 photographs dating to 1925 documenting a passenger voyage through the Hawaiian Islands and broader Pacific region during a period of expanding U.S. tourism and colonial presence. The material captures volcanic landscapes urban development agricultural activity and Native Hawaiian individuals providing visual evidence of both environmental features and social life. These images record the intersection of natural geography and emerging tourist infrastructure in Hawaii during the interwar period when the islands were increasingly integrated into trans-Pacific travel networks. Approximately 86 black-and-white and color photographs each measuring about 3.5 x 5 inches mounted on black album leaves with white ink captions identifying locations such as Honolulu Hilo Waimea Bay Kilauea Crater and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The archive includes multiple views of volcanic activity including lava flows associated with eruptions from 1868 1901 and 1924 as well as craters at Halemaumau and Kilauea steam vents and descending lava formations. Coastal landscapes and inland terrain of Oahu and the Big Island are represented alongside urban scenes in Honolulu including hotels streetscapes and institutional buildings such as the Moana Hotel and the Mormon Temple at Laie. Agricultural images show sugarcane cultivation and rural labor environments while market scenes and portraits depict local residents in daily settings. A group of photographs includes Duke Kahanamoku posed with a surfboard marked "DUKE" alongside additional images referencing Pacific locations such as Tutuila and Upolu indicating the voyage extended beyond Hawaii. Produced during the 1920s expansion of Pacific tourism these photographs document how Hawaii and surrounding islands were visually framed for travelers within a colonial and commercial context. The combination of landscape infrastructure and human subjects reflects both the promotion of the islands as a destination and the presence of established local communities and industries. The archive supports research into tourism history Pacific colonial networks environmental documentation and Native Hawaiian cultural representation. Mild toning and occasional rippling to prints with minimal edge wear; captions remain clear; overall very good condition. A comprehensive visual record of a trans-Pacific यातà¥à¤°à¤¾ and its documentation of Hawaii and neighboring islands in the early twentieth century. unknown

1943rif. 203061943. Photographer unknown. World War II photo album 1943-1944.

The photographs record military personnel in uniform alongside wives girlfriends and social circles capturing leisure travel and domestic life during wartime. Scenes from Hawaii include beaches agricultural landscapes and local environments providing visual evidence of how stationed personnel experienced the Pacific setting beyond formal military activity. The material supports research into World War II social history military life outside combat and the intersection of service travel and civilian relationships during the war years. Photo album containing approximately 173 black-and-white silver gelatin photographs with 47 images loose ranging in size from 1.5 x 3 inches to 8 x 10 inches most approximately 4 x 5 inches. Album measures 9.25 x 11 inches with woven fabric covers and 62 pages. Many photographs are captioned with names ranks locations and dates.

Mainland photographs include locations in Lake Michigan Florida Charlottesville Tucson and Philadelphia documenting travel and movement across the United States. Other scenes include a wedding portrait a sorority picnic and informal gatherings indicating the range of social environments captured within the album. These photographs align with broader patterns of wartime mobility and social life when military service relocated individuals across regions while maintaining connections to civilian routines and relationships. Hawaii functioned as a critical military and logistical center following the attack on Pearl Harbor while also serving as a site of recreation and daily life for stationed personnel. Personal photographic albums from this period provide primary evidence for the study of how individuals experienced wartime conditions beyond combat including leisure practices gender roles and cross-regional movement within the United States and Pacific territories. Minor wear to album covers and edges; photographs remain clear with strong contrast and legible captions. Overall very good condition. unknown
