The new institute is led by <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/hshk\/people\/marvin-puakea-nogelmeier\/\"><strong>Puakea Nogelmeier<\/strong><\/a>, a professor of Hawaiian language, and is an invaluable resource for anyone in the state and beyond to find and utilize historical Hawaiian knowledge. <\/p>\n<p>There exists a large repository of Hawaiian language material which documents <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> from ancient times through most of the 20th century. One of the largest sources of information is the cache of newspapers published in Hawaiian for over a century, and a signature project of <abbr>IHLRT<\/abbr> is the research and translation of these historical materials. <\/p>\n<p>Between 1834 and 1948 more than 100 Hawaiian language newspapers were published, equal to over one million letter-sized typescript pages. For over ten years the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/seagrant.soest.hawaii.edu\/\">Sea Grant College Program<\/a> has been collaborating with the <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/hshk\/\"><span aria-label=\"Hawaiinuiakea\">Hawai&#699;inui\u0101kea<\/span> School of Hawaiian Knowledge<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awaiaulu.org\/main\/index.php\">Awaiaulu<\/a>, a local nonprofit organization, to locate and translate information and make it widely accessible. To date only a tiny fraction of the material has been translated, and a treasury of text which illuminates <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>&#8217;s past remains untapped and inaccessible. <\/p>\n<h2>Training the next generation<\/h2>\n<p>The new institute will also provide professional training and prepare the next generation of translation leaders and scholars in all fields related to <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span>, its people, its culture and its history. Faculty and students from any of the University of <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> campuses can participate in research projects. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Historical Hawaiian material has long been beyond reach for scholars and speakers alike, a tragedy of knowledge lying dormant&rdquo; said Nogelmeier. &ldquo;The new institute can change that, generating access and resource people to reconnect historical knowledge for today and the future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;By Cindy Knapman<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47357\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/manoa-sea-grant-ihlrt.jpg\" alt=\"Nogelmeier and students with laptops\" width=\"620\" height=\"284\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/manoa-sea-grant-ihlrt.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/manoa-sea-grant-ihlrt-260x119.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Puakea Nogelmeier (far left), and translation students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New institute has translated a portion of historical Hawaiian documents and is training the next generation of scholars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":47361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,12],"tags":[33,1057,551,1109,92,9,438,56],"class_list":["post-47350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","category-video","tag-hawaiian","tag-hawaiian-language","tag-hawaiinuiakea-school-of-hawaiian-knowledge","tag-institute-of-hawaiian-language-research-and-translation","tag-school-of-ocean-and-earth-science-and-technology","tag-uh-manoa","tag-uh-sea-grant","tag-video-2","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/manoa-sea-grant-ihlrt-f.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47350"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108901,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47350\/revisions\/108901"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
