1. The Foreign and Native Testimonies are *not* full-text searchable

• Unlike the LCA collection, the Foreign and Native Testimonies were't transcribed by AVA Konohiki, Instead, AVA Konohiki noted keywords (e.g. inoa, wahi pana, mea kanu) that appeared in the testimonies.
• However, transcriptions and translations for the Native Testimonies only are full-text searchable in the AVA Konohiki database.

2. Oftentimes, FTs and NTs contain similar, if not exactly the same, content.

• The Foreign Testimonies are often English translations of the Native Testimonies that are ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.
• For an example of this, see the "Case Study: LCA 1930" page to the left.
