Behind the Scenes of the Hawai`i Women's Heritage
Project
Putting Hawai`ian
Culture on
the Web.
The first two exhibits of the Project were built by the students of WS382, "Hawai`i's Female Heritage," an undergraduate
course offered by the Women's Studies Program of the University of Hawai`i. Organized
into two teams of three students each, the students conducted interviews, made
photographs, and designed and coded the exhibits, Hula: From a Native Perspective, and A Woman of Taoist Medicine. The instructors, Dr. Diane
Maluso and Lee-Ellen Marvin are particularly thankful to Michiko Nishimoto of
the Oral History Program for providing special assistance in conducting research
with real people.
From Museum to the
Internet
The third exhibit, Women and Work in Hawai`i
is based on a museum exhibit by the same name, created by Teresa Bill and Jane
Silverman. Using the texts and images from the original exhibit panels, this web
site examines women's participation in the economic marketplace as income earners.
The site was designed in 1996 by Teresa Bill and Diane Maluso, both of the Women's
Studies Program at the College of Social
Sciences, University of Hawai`i.
