Archives: Research

Materials are non-circulating, so items must be used in the archives.

The archives stacks are closed. This means that if you need a record, the archives staff will retrieve it for you.

Allow plenty of time when you visit as archival research is time consuming.

Handling instructions for using archival materials.

In order to prolong the life of materials, please:

• Do not bring food and beverages into the archives.
• Be sure hands are clean and free of food and lotions.
• Open folders or portfolios flat on the table. Handle each item separately and carefully to avoid tears and scratches.
• Use pencils only. Keep pencils and note pads on the table surface and not on archival materials.
• Keep materials in the original order as they were given.
• Use paper strips provided to mark for copying.

Hours:
By appointment.
9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
Monday-Friday
Hours may vary.

The Archivist reserves the right to restrict use of materials which are exceptionally fragile.

The 'Iolani School Archives contains materials, information, videos, images, etc., that may be considered sensitive or offensive according to today's standards. These items are indicative of societal attitudes at particular points in time. Such materials are retained and preserved in an effort to adequately represent the historical record.

The Archivist can help determine what records will help you with your research.

Students should come to the archives to do their own research.

Researchers may contact the archives with questions or research queries. The amount of time the Archivist can do research for you is limited; for in-depth queries please come into the archives to do research.

The 'Iolani School Archives provides the following services:

• Student Research Support
• Faculty / Curriculum Support
• Administrative Research Support
• Research Guides
