Biography

Neil Abercrombie Papers
The Neil Abercrombie Papers, which were created and maintained by Abercrombie’s Honolulu and Washington, DC, offices, were delivered to the UH Mānoa Library between 2010 and 2015.

Most of the collection falls under the Congress series, and documents the 20 years that Abercrombie represented Hawaiʻi in the U.S. House of Representatives. The contents of the collection document issues of importance to Hawaiʻi, particularly as they relate to natural resources and the armed services, House committees that Abercrombie served on for 20 years. Subjects that are well documented in the collection include the Iraq war, the military and military construction in Hawaiʻi, maritime issues, plutonium shipping, 2003 amendments to the Compacts of Free Association, and federal recognition for Native Hawaiians.
