Just about every aspect of the natural or cultural history of
Hawaii and the Pacific has been studied by researchers at the
Bishop Museum. We are pleased to share with the public some of
the many databases that help us analyze and study this
fascinating region.
If you are interested in biology of the plants and animals of
Hawaii and the Pacific, check out the Hawaii Biological Survey's
database pages. If you are more interested in the traditional
uses of plants by Native Hawaiians, try the Ethnobotany
database.
For those interested in archaeology, especially that of the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, take a look at our Annotated
Bibliography and Online Collection Database. The Ethnology
Collection contains nearly 80,000 artifacts from throughout the
Pacific region. It's a great way to learn more about those
remote islands and see the artifacts that the Museum has in its
collection.
For researchers and our colleagues, the Hawaiian and Pacific
Studies Department also provides searchable databases of
archaeological projects and manuscripts that are useful in
tracking down reports on the archaeological work that has been
done around Hawaii. Also, our zooarchaeology collections are
databased and can be searched if you need to use our reference
collection.
