Historic photographs
of Kohala on display
In conjunction with
the 2015 Kohala reunion,
North Kohala Public
Library in Kapaau will
exhibit a selection of
historic photographs of
Kohala starting Monday
through July 10.
The photographs focus
on the sugar plantation
era in North Kohala.
The exhibit of 24 photo-
graphs portrays homes,
public spaces, landscapes
and plantation facili-
ties in Kohala from 1880
through 1963.
The photographs for
the exhibit were select-
ed from the collection of
several hundred historic
photographs housed in
the North Kohala Library
Archive collection. Many
of the library’s photo-
graphs were initially gath-
ered as part of a Bond
Memorial Library his-
toric photo project in the
early 1980s. Other pho-
tographs were donated
to the library from two
earlier Kohala reunions in
2005 and 2010. Families
and organizations have
also contributed to the
collection.
The exhibit may be
viewed during the library’s
open hours from noon to
8 p.m. Monday, 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. Friday.
North Kohala Library is
next to Takata Market on
Akoni Pule Highway. Call
the North Kohala Public
Library at 889-6655 for
