CONSERVING, PRESERVING AND

Now, Repairing The Palace

Iolani Palace has served many functions since its completion in 1882. From being constructed as a gift from King Kalakaua to his wife Queen Kapiolani to its

use for decades as government offices to the reopening of its doors as a public museum in 1978, the Palace’s story is constantly unfolding. With nearly a century and a half of extensive use, however, comes the need for significant repairs to be made to our beloved historic structure.

Aloha Friends,

Happy New Year from The Friends

of Iolani Palace! Since joining

this wonderful organization as

Executive Director last year, I’ve

had the pleasure of learning more

about this historic landmark and

the many ways our non-profit

organization shares Hawaii’s

history and culture with our community. Mahalo for the warm

welcome and for entrusting me with this treasured wahi pana.

At the end of 2019, we issued a call to action for our friends,

family, and community partners to support our efforts to repair

Iolani Palace and her structures. Since opening our doors as

a public museum in 1978, the Palace has withstood several

structural changes, leaks, and damages, and we must now work

tirelessly to repair, conserve, and preserve it. To read more

about our needs, turn to pages 1 and 5.

While 2019 was a year of change, it was also one of growth and

opportunity for the Palace. In November, we celebrated the

release of Grammy nominee and multiple Na Hoku Hanohano

award winner Amy Hanaialii’s new album Kalawaianui with a

special benefit for the Palace. The month’s festivities continued

with our annual King Kalakaua birthday celebration in

partnership with the Royal Guard of Hawaii Air National Guard.

In December, we decorated the grounds with lanterns and

celebrated the end of 2019 with our beloved tradition of Queen

Kapiolani Evening Tours, a rare opportunity for guests to visit

the Palace at night. Read more about these events on page 3.

This was also a year of new technological opportunities, as we

worked closely with Mid-Pacific Institute on a special Digital

Archiving Project. We also followed up on the work the Junior

League of Honolulu undertook to complete a project over

50 years in the making. Turn to page 4 to learn more about

these exciting and innovative projects.

Mahalo for your ongoing support of our mission to preserve,

restore, interpret, share, and celebrate the unique qualities of

Iolani Palace and her grounds for the benefit of the community.

Aloha,

Paula Akana, Executive Director

KING KALAKAUA’S 183RD BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONOn Saturday, November 16, 2019, we partnered with the Royal Guard of

Hawaii Air National Guard to celebrate King Kalakaua’s 183rd birthday with

a special event and beloved tradition at the Palace.

Inspired by the styles, colors and décor of the King’s Birthday Jubilee

in 1886, the annual celebration was free to the public, and featured live

entertainment by the Royal Hawaiian Band, Monarchy-era bunting and

décor, and special birthday tributes to the late King Kalakaua. Beginning

with opening remarks, the celebratory event was followed by a Royal

Hawaiian Band performance and the review and posting of the Royal Guard,

overseen by Princess Abigail Kawananakoa.

QUEEN KAPIOLANI EVENING TOURSIn honor of Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani’s 185th birthday, the Palace

continued its beloved tradition of hosting its evening tours from

December 28 through 30, 2019, inviting guests to step back in time and

experience the Palace in its 19th century grandeur.

Our unforgettable celebration of the Queen began with the Opening Night

Reception on Saturday evening. Special guests enjoyed delicious food and

cocktails along with entertainment by Grammy nominated and multiple

Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning entertainers Amy Hanaialii in the

Barracks, and Natalie Ai Kamauu on the second floor of the Palace.

Over the course of the three evenings, the Palace was adorned with shimmering lights, and music filled the halls as it would have at

King Kalakaua’s soirees. The evening tours also provided a rare and special opportunity for guests to visit the Palace at night.

On Saturday, November 2, 2019, we had the pleasure of collaborating with

Grammy nominated and multiple Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning art-

ist Amy Hanaialii for the release of her latest album Kalawaianui and a

benefit for Iolani Palace.

At the elegant affair, guests were treated to a delicious gourmet dinner featuring a partnership with Chefs Ed Kenney and Mark Noguchi. Following an opening performance by Kumu Hula Micah Kamohoalii and Halau Na Kipuupuu and a welcome by our Executive Director Paula

Akana, guests participated in a special “Raise the Paddle” to raise funds

to support the repair of key areas in need at the Palace. The unforgettable

evening concluded with a performance by the talented Amy Hanaialii, who previewed new tracks on Kalawaianui.

In 2016, we began a partnership with Mid-Pacific Institute, working closely with

juniors and seniors in its Museum Studies class for a special Digital Archiving Project.

We’re excited to continue this special collaboration as new students continue to visit

the Palace for this project.

Brian Grantham, Mid-Pacific Institute’s director of educational technology, values the

partnership and the opportunity it affords Mid-Pac’s students to learn about historical

artifacts. “One of the key elements of this course is to have students learn both the

technology used to digitize artifacts as well as the cultural and historical background

of each artifact.”

A student in the fall 2019 Museum Studies class, Judith Tamayo, visited the Palace

with her fellow students in November to scan a variety of cultural resources, including

an umeke with Queen Kapiolani’s likeness on one side and the Hawaiian coat of

arms on the other; the Blue Room chaise lounge, damaged by a bullet during the

Wilcox counter-coup; and the bullet that was embedded in the lounge following the

counter-coup. “Through the scans, we’re able to tell stories, and we can share

information with students from around the world,” said Tamayo. “Coming into this

class, I didn’t know we would have access to such diverse resources. Now, I’m excited

to be a part of a project that makes archives such as these accessible to the public.”

The partnership continues in 2020, as a new group of Museum Studies students will

visit the Palace in the spring for the continuation of the Digital Archiving Project.

MID-PACIFIC INSTITUTE

Digital Archiving Project

Over the past few years, Iolani Palace’s Curatorial and

Education departments followed up on work the Junior

League of Honolulu undertook to complete a project

over 50 years in the making. In an effort to make documentation

relating to the Palace’s monarchy-era history available to the

public, the Palace digitized research the Junior League of Honolulu

compiled and indexed just prior to the restoration of Iolani Palace.

These files are now available for scholars, researchers and the

general public to access for free via the Palace website.

Featuring dozens of subject headings, the Junior League files

serve as a resource for those wanting to know more about the

historic building during monarchy-era Hawaii, and also provide

historic content between the Palace and the greater context

of late 19th century Hawaii. The files span a multitude of topics

including architecture, decorative arts, interior design, political

and social history, international relations, and music, which

makes them valuable to anyone wanting to know more about

Hawaii’s history. They also serve as an accessible resource for

those who aren’t able to travel or visit the Palace in person.

In addition to compiling, indexing and digitizing the Junior

League files, we also hosted a public workshop in September

2019 to showcase the importance of digitizing archival

materials. Panelists Doug Askman, Keau George, Alice Guild and

Marcus Ortiz shared information about the digitization process,

offered insights into the stories these historical resources hold,

discussed lessons learned, and provided an understanding of

the value of such projects.

We encourage anyone with an interest in Hawaii’s history and

culture to visit iolanipalace.org/palace-collections/digital-collection

to browse the Junior League files.

Conserving, PRESERVING AND NOW, REPAIRINGStory continued from the cover

In this new season of repairing the Palace, we ask for your

kokua. In addition to repairing the Palace roof, the Coronation

Pavilion and bee hive removal mentioned in previous

communications, we seek your generous support to fund the

following crucial repair and maintenance projects (note the repair costs listed below are estimates):

Replace…

• Etched Glass Windows, $90,000: Damaged by vandalism

in 2017, the original etched glass was created in San

Francisco. In order to replicate this process today, custom

glass must be ordered from Germany and shipped to

an artisan specializing in 19th century techniques. An anonymous donor generously contributed $25,000, but around $65,000 more is needed to complete this project.

• Missing Flagpole, $150,000: When the Palace was being

restored, a flagpole was moved from its original location

to another spot on the roof. Years later, the Palace is still

missing this valuable piece that will help restore it to its

monarchy grandeur.

Restore…

• Palace Locks, $50,000: Specialized contractors must be

commissioned in order to replace and upgrade the original

hardware of the doors to the Palace.

• Sconces, $115,000: During monarchy-era times, these

original architectural features of the Palace would have

been illuminated when guests came to visit alii.

Repair…

• Masonry Pillars and Wall, $50,000: In order to ensure

the Palace stands for the next 100 years and beyond, the

crumbling walls and deteriorating masonry that supports

our structure must be repaired.

• Palace Stairs, $200,000: The Palace’s four flights of stairs

must be repaired in order for Hawaii’s people to have the

opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the monarchy’s

beloved historical figures.

• Kanaina Building Window Treatments (tint and draperies),

$50,000: Window treatments will greatly help to improve

the acoustics of this building, which is utilized by various

Hawaii organizations and groups for community events

and speaking engagements.

Help The Friends of Iolani Palace unlock the possibilities in

2020 by supporting our numerous repair projects by making

a direct donation or becoming a Friends of Iolani Palace

member. No matter how you choose to donate, you’ll be

making a lasting difference in our efforts to share this historic,

one-of-a-kind landmark with future generations of kamaaina

and visitors alike.

MINIDOKA: AN AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPIn observance of Civil Liberties & the Constitution Day, the Judiciary

History Center, Hawaii State Bar Association Civic Education

Committee, The Friends of Iolani Palace, and the National Park

Service presented a special screening of “Minidoka: An American

Concentration Camp” on Monday, January 30.

After seeing “Minidoka: An American Concentration Camp” at

the 2019 Western Museum Association annual conference, we

co-coordinated with the Judiciary History Center to bring a

screening to Hawaii. Hanako Wakatsuki, chief of interpretation

and education for the Minidoka National Historic Site, shared

her valuable experiences working with former incarcerees of

the concentration camp prior to the film which included her

grandparents. Wakatsuki was visiting Hawaii on assignment, which

provided a wonderful opportunity for her to speak about the

research she’s conducted about the camp and to share her story

with the many Hawaii residents of Japanese ancestry.

“Minidoka: An American Concentration Camp” is a moving and

insightful documentary produced for Minidoka National Historic

Site that tells the story of Americans of Japanese ancestry who

were incarcerated in the High Desert of southern Idaho.

The screening took place in the Supreme Court Room at the

Judiciary History Center, where over 90 people gathered together

to learn more about the historical significance of Minidoka.
