1838réf. 66226Lahainaluna: Press of the Mission Seminary 1838. Instructions for Missionaries Printed in Hawaii A collection of the original instructions issued to each of eight groups of Christian missionaries sent to Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. It is a relatively early Lahainaluna imprint printed in an edition of 380 copies. "This work contains the Act of Incorporation of the ABCFM State of Massachusetts signed by Caleb Strong Governor and Alden Bradford Secretary of the Commonwealth 20 June 1812 together with the laws and regulations of the same body. Following this are the parting instructions given to each of the first eight companies of missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands…by Samuel Worcester Jeremiah Evarts David Greene B.B. Wisner and Rufus Anderson. A complete list of each company including the Hawaiians is found on pages 119-122.Rev. Clark's account of printing for the year ending February 28 1839 includes this work and shows a production cost of $30. The printed minutes of the 1839 General Meeting record 380 copies printed" - Forbes. The ABCFM was an interdenominational body composed primarily of New England Congregationalists and Presbyterians whose "attention.was called to the Hawaiian Islands by reports of traders and by the presence in New England of several native youth from these islands.The Protestant Christian community of New England became interested in these young Sandwich Islanders and in the possibility that they might become Christian messengers to their own people.The sending of missionaries to Hawaii followed as the next logical step" Kuykendall. This first group of missionaries sent by the ABCFM to Hawaii included two ordained ministers Hiram Bingham and Asa Thurston a physician two schoolmasters and catechists a printer a farmer; their wives and three Hawaiian youths who had been attending the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall Connecticut. In their set of instructions to this first group of missionaries the ABCFM said that it was God's ".gracious pleasure and his high command that his gospel should be preached to them the people of Hawaii; that they may be turned from darkness unto light – be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and taught to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded for their salvation and for his everlasting honor and praise." An important and uncommon text tracing the early history of the American Christian missionary movement and the ABCFM in Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 complete with the names of the missionaries sent by the ABCFM and the goals they were expected to achieve during their respective stays in Hawaii. Contemporary cloth-backed paper boards. Spine neatly repaired boards lightly soiled and rubbed. Light foxing some slight worming in gutter margin with minute loss to text. Very good.

1930réf. 227421930. Japanese-American Hawaii Japanese American military family photograph album 1930s documenting everyday life of a Nisei household in interwar Hawaii and tracing the transpacific connections linking Japanese American communities with Japan and Japanese occupied Manchuria. The photographs record family relationships social gatherings military friendships and overseas travel at a time when second generation Japanese Americans were negotiating identity within both American and Japanese spheres of influence. Handwritten captions written in the first person suggest the compiler was a Nisei man with associations to the United States Army referring to relatives and companions as "My father" "My sis Chiyo" and identifying a group of men in a tropical field as "China Souza Manuel myself Choy" further captioned "Army Buddies." During the 1930s Japanese Americans faced significant barriers to military advancement on the mainland United States yet Hawaii's National Guard accepted some Nisei soldiers prior to the Second World War due in part to the islands' large Japanese population. The album therefore documents a rare prewar moment when Japanese American military participation and family life intersected within the broader social landscape of Hawaii. Photo album compiled during the 1930s containing approximately 103 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to brown paper leaves and annotated in ink identifying individuals and locations. Bound in green pebbled boards titled "Photo Album" in gilt on the cover. Each photo measures approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. Album measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches. The images depict family gatherings beach excursions on Oahu graduations and informal portraits of relatives and friends. Early pages include a graduation photograph of Edna Omatsu and portraits of family members including Uneiko members of the Takayama family Jeanette Ayako and a military dressed man identified as Rob Ogawa. One family group portrait shows individuals wearing leis with the caption "Honolulu - Hakada's Departure to Japan." Several photographs document military friendships and camp environments including the previously noted "Army Buddies" image. A small sequence captioned "Manchurian Trip" records the family's travels through northern China during the period of Japanese control following the establishment of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932 illustrating the mobility of Japanese diaspora families moving between Hawaii Japan and imperial territories across East Asia. Interwar Hawaii contained one of the largest Japanese populations outside Japan with Japanese immigrants and their American born children forming a substantial portion of the islands' workforce and social life during the 1930s. Album spine partially detached at front cover with wear to boards; photographs remain clean and crisp with mostly legible handwritten captions. Overall very good condition. Nisei communities balanced participation in American civic institutions with continuing family linguistic and cultural ties to Japan creating networks that stretched across the Pacific. This album documents those connections through scenes of leisure education military companionship and international travel shortly before the geopolitical tensions that culminated in the Pacific War. unknown books
