EARLY PUBLISHING:

General tip: When looking for early European and American writing about Hawaiʻi and the Pacific in Voyager, the subject headings [COUNTRY] Discovery and Travel or [COUNTRY] Description and Travel (example: Rapa Nui Discovery and Travel; Hawaiʻi Description and Travel).

Selected databases, Indexes & Online Resources:

Google Books
Many early voyaging accounts and missionary publications have now been digitized, and because they are in the public domain are available in full-text via Google Books. A great many publications from the Hawaiian monarchy are also online. The search is messy, but for small and/or underfunded libraries, this is a valuable resource to keep in mind.
Hawaiian & Pacific Images
The Hawaiian and Pacific Collections have a substantial collection of large-format photographic negatives created as a result of requests for publication quality reproductions of book illustrations housed in our rare collection. These include plates from the 18th/19th century voyaging accounts, early 20th century ethnographic accounts and other texts. In addition to these photographic negatives, the Collections on occasion produce digital copies of similar material. This online collection includes digitized versions of the original negatives, along with other digital copies made directly from publications in our collections, and is meant to allow for research across a variety of visual topics.
JSTOR
JSTOR is not only useful for finding material about various voyagers and voyages, but because it includes retrospective coverage, you can also occasionally find writing by the voyagers themselves (for instance, there is material written by James Cook included).
LLMC Digital
This electronic collection of legal materials and government documents is the digital version of microfiche collections created by the Law Library Microform Consortium. The collection currently contains over 50 million pages of state, federal, and British laws; decisions of federal executive branch agencies, boards, and commissions; Congressional Record; and court decisions. It has a great deal of early Hawaiʻi government material, and a growing body of Pacific Islands material.

Early Accounts of Hawaii by Non-Hawaiians

Reference texts:

Hawaiian National Bibliography 1780-1900 by David W. Forbes
Call Number: Z4701 .F67 1999
ISBN: 0824820428
Publication Date: 1999

This annotated bibliography "is intended to be a comprehensive, annotated record of all printed works on some aspect of the political, religious, social, cultural and scientific history of the Hawaiian Islands from 1780 to 1900." (Quoted from preface.)
Indigenous Navigation and Voyaging in the Pacific by Nicholas J. Goetzfridt
Call Number: GN440 .I53 1992
ISBN: 0313277397
Publication Date: 1992

This extensively annotated bibliography includes information not only on navigation and voyaging but also voyagers. It can be used to track down accounts of indigenous voyagers and first settlers.
The Journals of Captain James Cook on His Voyages of Discovery by J. C. Beaglehole (Editor)
Call Number: G 420 .C62 C66 1999
ISBN: 0851157440
Publication Date: 1999

This modern reprinting of Cook's journals is especially useful in that it includes an index (so in other words, if you're interested in Tahitian weapons, you can look the term up in the index for citations to Cook's observations.) The editor, J.C. Beaglehole, did similar work for selected other European voyagers as well (see for instance The Endeavour journal of Joseph Banks, 1768-1771).
The Voices of Eden by Albert J. Schutz
Call Number: PL6441 .S38 1994
ISBN: 0824816374
Publication Date: 1994

Widely regarded as the seminal work on the history of Hawaiian language in its written form. Available in open-access via www.ulukau.org

Call Number: SH382.6 .W44 1984
Publication Date: 1984

Although this index is intended to provide access to a collection of Pacific Manuscripts Bureau microfilms (which UH Mānoa
library has, but that other libraries may not), it is nonetheless useful for tracking which whaling ships went where; seeing the rise and fall of whaling over the years; and other useful information.

Also useful for looking at contemporary Pacific literature, given that much modern writing draws on traditional characters and motifs.

Music/Dance

Music in Pacific Island Cultures by Brian Diettrich; Jane Freeman Moulin; Michael Webb
Call Number: ML3774 .D54 2011
ISBN: 9780199733408
Publication Date: 2011

Music in Pacific Island Cultures is one of several case-study volumes that can be used along with Thinking Musically, Second Edition, the core book in the Global Music Series. Thinking Musically incorporates music from many diverse cultures and establishes the framework for exploring the practice of music around the world. It sets the stage for an array of case-study volumes, each of which focuses on a single area of the world. Each case study uses the contemporary musical situation as a point of departure, covering historical information and traditions as they relate to the present. The islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia are steeped in diverse musical traditions that reach far beyond the expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Music in Pacific Island Cultures is the first brief, single-volume text to provide a thematic, succinct introduction to the music of the Pacific Islands--a region of the world that has long been underrepresented in ethnomusicological studies. Based on the authors' extensive fieldwork and experiences in Pacific Island cultures, the text draws on interviews with performers, eyewitness accounts of performances, vivid illustrations, and insights gained from ongoing participation in Pacific music. The authors use four themes--colonialism, belief systems, musical flows, and the re/presentation of Pacific cultures--to survey the region and draw parallels and contrasts between its various musical traditions. Packaged with a 70-minute audio CD containing musical examples discussed in the book, Music in Pacific Island Cultures features numerous listening activities that engage students with the music. The companion website includes a comprehensive Instructor's Manual with suggested classroom activities. Visit www.oup.com/us/globalmusic for a list of books in the Global Music Series. The website also includes instructional materials to accompany each volume.
An Annotated Bibliography of Oceanic Music and Dance by Mervyn McLean
Call Number: ML120 .I745 M2 1995
ISBN: 0899900739
Publication Date: 1995
Hawaiian music and musicians : an encyclopedic history by edited by George S. Kanahele ; revised and updated by John Berger.
Call Number: ML200.7.H4 H45 2012
ISBN: 1566479673
Publication Date: 2012

When George S. Kanahele founded the Hawaiian Music Foundation in 1971 he immediately saw the need for a systematic presentation of the whole tradition of Hawaiian music, from its origins in pre-Contact chant and hula, to the adaptation of other musical traditions and instruments, to the extraordinary spread of Hawaiian music as "world music," and finally to the Hawaiian Renaissance that saved the tradition from near-extinction. Compiled with the assistance of a hundred contributors and the research of many more, it was immediately recognized as the most ambitious book ever written about Hawaiian music.
Organized like an encyclopedia, with entries in alphabetical order, the book presents the roots of Hawaiian music, from ancient chants to the flowering of the musical renaissance. There are biographies of musicians from every period of Hawaiian musical history from Henry Berger, David K lakaua, Queen Liliʻuokalani, and others of their time, to the great names of the 20th century.
