Ellen-Rae Cachola Evening Supervisor & Archives Manager The William S. Richardson School of Law Library is happy to announce updates on our Archive that students, faculty, and the public can access. The Archives mission is to provide material significant to the legal history of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. The Samuel P. King Collection, Faculty Publication Archives, Pacific Islands Committee Collection, and Law School History Archive are currently searchable through our Archives website.
The Samuel P. King Collection features the life, legal career, research materials, and cases of Samuel P. King. In addition to his career as a judge during the Hawaiian Renaissance and candidacy for Governorship, Judge King is well known for his co-authorship of Broken Trust: Greed, Mismanagement & Political Manipulation at America’s Largest Charitable Trust. The Faculty Publication Archives features the articles and book chapters authored by W. S. Richardson Law School faculty. Read up on the big ideas of the professors at this Law School. The Pacific Islands Committee collection is comprised of correspondence, minutes, memorandums, reports, and legal documents. This committee's mission was to monitor and make suggestions on the administration of justice in Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of Samoa, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Law School History collection features documents and ephemera relating to the history of the formation of the Law School as well as documents regarding the School’s activities throughout the years. This School has been instrumental in developing legal education in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific. Collections that we are currently being processed are the Jon Van Dyke Collection, the Hawaiʻi Constitutional Convention newspaper scrapbook, the Pre-Statehood Government Documents, and the H-3 Litigation Archive. Stay posted for when these collections are made available in the near future. The Archive web address is http://archives.law.hawaii.edu/. Explore our active collections by entering a keyword into the search box or perusing our finding aids, indexes and digitized items. The finding aids provide a general overview of the collection, while the indexes provide more detailed information on what can be found in each collection, including links to digitized items where available.

World Stocks and Precious Metals This dataset provides historical prices for equities trading on more than 50 global exchanges. Daily open, close, high, low, and volume statistics are reported. See http://data-planet.libguides.com/worldwidestocksandpreciousmetals for guidance and assistance. The graduating class of 2015 gifted the ATMOS water generator to the law school. The AWG creates clean, triple filtered hot and cold drinking water from the moisture in the air. The water generator holds 8 gallons of water maximum and continuously filters water out of the air. The filtration process can take several hours, so, if the containers are drained by thirsty law students, try again later. We plugged the device in at C.J.'s corner. The cold water is running at about 42 degrees while the hot water is running at about 180 degrees. (PLEASE be extra careful with the hot water.) I've created this video to provide instructions on how to use the AWG. Mucho mahalos to the graduating class of 2016! |
