New History Blog: United States Exploring Expedition Visits Hawaii


History Education Hawaii is pleased to announce the newest addition to its Hawaii History Blog Project, a program of its Hawaii Lyceum of History: United States Exploring Expedition Visits Hawaii. 

As with other history blogs, this site will be occasionally updated. Features include word-search capability, language translation and the ability of users to post comments and questions under individual postings. 

Texts are being directly transcribed by volunteers from various early19th and 20th century Hawaii-based news sources. 

History Education Hawaii hopes that this will generate interest and discussion inside and outside of the classroom, promoting scholarship and capitalizing on the increased popularity of online access via portable handheld devices anywhere in the world. 

History Education Hawaii, Inc., is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)3 educational corporation in the State of Hawaii. It is the official allied council of the National Council for History Education (NCHE).
