This page provides a collection of historical documents and information on projects related to documenting the history of the Department of Anthropology at UH. These collections and projects have been inspired by our 75th Anniversary.

Oral History and Archive Project (OHAP)

The Oral History and Archive project (OHAP), is a new project in which a team will collect stories, visual and written materials about Anthropology at UH from faculty, students and friends of the department past and present. These stories will be used to start a physical and digital archive of the Anthropology department in coordination with Hamilton library and Scholar Space.

Please contact OHAP in care of Maggie Bodemer at bodemer@hawaii.edu if you are interested in participating in the oral history and archive project.
