Working Hawaiʻi

Aside from the outstanding labor collection we’ve been entrusted with through the Center for Labor Education and Research (CLEAR) ʻUluʻulu has material from other collections that highlight work and employment in Hawaiʻi. Work that has historically defined some communities in Hawaiʻi, struggles that are still familiar today, and work that we don’t always think about are included in this theme.
