October’s theme explores some of the first appearances on the islands from tooth extractors and sewing machines to counterfeit money and a train robbery. Guests will be treated to four special-access experiences. First, take a pull on the printing press and learn about the first publications in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. Next, view early medical instruments in one of the original mission houses, while discovering Hawaiʻi’s first surgeries and treatments in Western medicine. In the Library Reading Room, interact with rare archival material and immerse yourself in the first written accounts of meteorological phenomena. Finally, explore the firsts of wine with a special tasting. This month we welcome guest sommelier, and librarian, Krystal Kakimoto from Bishop Museum.
Join us for Archives Uncorked: We did what? When? for a night of firsts and experience the exclusive opportunity to tour the collections of two historically renowned organizations in one location. Come sip, snack, and learn about Hawaiʻi’s history. Click here to buy tickets.
