Historic Property Inventories & Context Studies
NEW ADDITION: Historic Contexts provide research, evaluation and examples of patterns, themes and trends in which a building, structure, site, object or district is understood. The contexts provide information on meaning and provide the necessary background to understand why a given resource may be historically significant. Contexts are required components of nominations to the Hawai‘i and National Registers of Historic Places. Historic Hawai‘i Foundation is providing the links to Historic Contexts and associated resource inventories for various themes and resources that have been published by the Hawai‘i State Historic Preservation Division and other federal, state and local governments, as well as those by other educational and non-profit institutions.
