Talk Story Saturday: Insipring Women, Inspiring Generations

Talk Story Saturdays encourages our communities to learn, share, and engage with each other about Hawaiian History. Dive deep into the Hawaiian Historical Society’s (HHS) stacks with the staff for a special insiders’ look into the rare and unique books and archival material not normally on public view. The hour-long tour will include: an introduction to the Hawaiian Historical Society, a curated exhibit, a chance to interact with historical material as well as an opportunity to learn how to research and access HHS’ resources. Guests are encouraged to ask questions and stay for reference hours until 2:00pm to conduct their own research. Tours are conducted in Hawaiian Historical Society’s Reading Room, Library & Archives.

March's theme is Inspiring Women, Inspiring Generations in celebration of Women's History Month. We recognize a few influential women and movements that have inspired generations in literacy, education, health, and government. See the nūpepa, Ke Aloha Aina, and learn about its female editor, Emma ʻAʻima Aʻii Nāwahī. Interact with broadsides and hear about Queen Emma and the creation of The Queen's Medical Center, St. Andrew's Cathedral and St. Andrew's Priory. Join us as we honor women in Hawaiian History.
