Have you heard of the ʻUluʻulu Moving Image Archive? If not, you need to check it out!
First off, mahalo nui to Tisha Aragaki, Assistant Archivist, and Koa Luke, Assistant Archivist Cataloger, for sharing their manaʻo and ʻike with us last week (04/16) at the ʻUluʻulu Workshop.
Mahalo hoʻi to the workshop attendees for their interest, engagement, and nīnau.
ʻUluʻulu: The Henry Kuʻualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawaiʻi is the official state archive for moving images. The archive is dedicated to the care, preservation, and digitization of film and videotape related to the history and culture of Native Hawaiians and the people of Hawaiʻi.
Instructors, you can show films in your classroom, or assign as homework*.
Students, you can find a lot of useful information for your research projects. Or, just find something interesting and fun to watch.
Accessing the archive is super simple. You can browse the catalog and watch short clips. When you want to watch full-length footage, you just need to create an account and Tisha from ʻUluʻulu will be in touch. You’ll be able to stream the full-length footage within a few days.
*Note: Instructors, if you assign films as homework, each student will need to create an account, but you can contact Tisha at ʻUluʻulu to easily set this up.
