Hawaiʻi Congressional Papers Research

Everything you need to know about doing research in UH Mānoa Libraryʻs Hawaiʻi Congressional Papers Collection

Request material from the archives

Archival collections are stored in areas that are not accessible to the public. Archives staff retrieve materials for researchers to review in the Archives & Manuscripts reading room. We welcome walk-in researchers, but if we know what youʻd like to see ahead of time, we can have the boxes ready for you when you arrive!
