Talk Story Saturdays: Food & Feasting

Talk Story Saturdays encourages our communities to learn, share, and engage with each other about Hawaiian History. Dive deep into the Hawaiian Historical Society’s (HHS) stacks with the staff for a special insiders’ look into the rare and unique books and archival material not normally on public view. The hour-long tour will include: an introduction to the Hawaiian Historical Society, a curated exhibit, a chance to interact with historical material as well as an opportunity to learn how to research and access HHS’ resources. Guests are encouraged to ask questions and stay for reference hours to conduct their own research. Tours are conducted in Hawaiian Historical Society’s Reading Room, Library & Archives.

July's theme, Food & Feasting, will explore sustenance in Hawaiʻi. From ice cream to delicacies like the kolea bird, we will be sharing rare historic photographs, manuscripts, and memorabilia celebrating food and histories of gathering together from different communities across time in the islands. On display this month will be Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani's invitation to her lūʻau celebrating the completion of her home, Keōua Hale. Join us for an experience that will delight your taste buds.
