The North Shore Chamber of Commerce’s Historic Preservation Committee will present a program on the history of the Waialua Sugar Company showcasing the plantation experience, on Saturday, April 5th, 2014, 7:00pm at the Waialua United Church of Christ.
In the first half of the program, local historian Boyd Ready will present an illustrated talk on the history of the Plantation. During the second half of the program the U.H. research team will share materials that feature the Waialua community from the 1940s through 1971. These materials are part of the University of Hawaii’s Romanzo Adams Social Research Laboratories (RASRL) archive and were collected by sociology professors over several decades. The university students who wrote the papers and hand drew the maps were trained by sociology professors to research their communities. This will be an exciting program celebrating Hawaii’s plantation heritage.
