Windward Campus, 45-720 Keaahala Rd, Kaneohe, HI 96744, Library Conference Roo

How do we understand federal, state, and grassroots political processes in Hawai驶i?

What is the purpose of reflecting on conflicting political views that shape Hawai驶i's present?

How can archives and libraries play a role in reflecting back on our past to raise broad-based discussion on what we do with these histories in the present and future?

Join a hybrid symposium 鈥淎rchives & Political Processes: A Case Study on the History of the H-3 Freeway,鈥 which will publicly launch an online resource that curates archival materials from federal, state, and community levels that document the political processes that led to the construction and opposition to the H-3 freeway. This event is co-sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship for Diversity, Inclusion & Cultural Heritage at Rare Book School, the University of Hawai驶i School of Law Library, the University of Hawai驶i at 惭腻苍辞补 Hamilton Library, and Windward Community College Library.
