Description

Negative: nitrate negative replaced by copy negative 1977 of Kealakekua Heiau (a) and contact print (b).

Catalog card description: "Heiau. Kealakekua, Hawaii. A drawing."

Caption: "Entitled: 'View of the Royal Murai in the Bay Ti-utatua (Kailua), on the Island of Owhyhee Hawaii), near which the Queen Kahumanua is walking with her daughter.' From the Voyage of Discovery by the Russian navigator Ketzebue, who visited Kamehameha and his queens in 1815. It was such temples as this that were destroyed in 1819 by order of Kaahumanu after she became queen regent."

This negative was digitized as part of a 2009 IMLS grant. Because transfer between permanent material culture collection and library was not reflected on library catalog card, we have determined to put these into a "found in collection" category with a 0__ before the collection number to key us to the fact that these have an older number with the collection that the scope of this project does not allow us to search for at this time. The third number reflects the negative number.

The data entered here is not always representative of the negative itself. For example, if we have in hand a safety negative made in 1966 of an original photograph taken in 1926, "1926" will be entered in the date field. Similarly, many negatives are photographs of books and prints in the HMCS collection. In this case, the date of the original map, book, broadside, etc. is once again the one that is used.

Most negatives are specifically identified as safety negatives based on data from catalog cards, envelopes housing the negatives, inventories, and the film itself. However, it is assumed that all negatives are safety negatives, even when they are not specifically noted as such.
