The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1894-05-09
The RECORDS OF THE TIME.

The point was made by the STAR
some time ago that the Historical
Society ought to file away all data,
written or printed, that can be had
IN ys the Hawaiian revolution and
the reconstruction period which
came after. At the last meeting OF
the Society the subject was brought |
up by Or. Emerson and some steps
were taken to make or to authorize
the required collections. What IS
wanted are files of the local press OF
all shades Of political opinion; laws
and DEGREES of the Hawaiian Gov
ernment the published letters OF
foreign correspondents at this capt.
tai; public documents of the United
States covering Hawaiian messages,
reports and speeches from and in
the executive and legislative
branches of the American Govern
ment: magazines and reviews which
treat Of Hawaiian politics and such
private memorabilia of the stirring
times of January 1898, and De
cember, 1898, as may be contrib
uted to the Society's archives.
Much of this matter could have
been had more readily months back
but no doubt if the Society should
make an appeal, very much printed
Hawaiian matter would be supplied
it by people who have taken the
trouble to save the data that they
have from time to time picked up.
The merest fugitive note, the
ephemera of daily journalism, the
most casual diary of events, will al,
have a marked value to the his
torian who shall, twenty, thirty Oh
fifty years hence, undertake to write
of the times that saw the downfall
of the last independent monarchy
in this hemisphere. 1t is the true
object and purpose Of an historical
society to preserve such things 70,
his use.
