Hawaii Goes to War: Life in Hawaii from Pearl Harbor to Peace

Here is the enthralling story of Hawaii during World War II, as shown through a fascinating text and hundreds of rare and historic photographs. World War II's disruptions were felt throughout the United States, but nowhere more strongly than in Hawaii. Beginning with the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, the years of change and the restrictions that in 1945 caused the islands to undergo an experience unlike anywhere else in the country.Everyone had to live with mail censorship and special U.S. currency under a fully entrenched military government. Residents of all ages toted gas masks, huddled in backyard air raid shelters, and spent nights under curfew in blacked out homes. The flood of military personnel and mainland war workers lived in tent cities and sought fun and companionship on Honolulu's notorious Hotel Street.

Historian DeSoto Brown and graphic artist Anne Ellett have combed the archives to bring back to the light nostalgic images of the Hawaiian Islands between 1910 and 1950. These illustrations depict Hawaii s commercial graphic arts at its most glorious. Before the days of color photography, Hawaii called with romantic images of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, hula girls and beach boys, ukuleles, flowers and fish, in an evocative richness rarely equaled in the history of regional graphic art.

First in a series of pictorials to be offered from the Bishop Museum Archives, Surfing: Images from Bishop Museum Archives presents over 200 images of Hawaii's surfing history, many never before published. Rather than compile a simple history of the sport, author and Bishop Museum archivist DeSoto Brown, through years of careful research, includes and intersperses the photographs with descriptive text, historical notes, and interesting trivia to offer the reader new insight into the history of Hawaii's surfing heritage. The idea for Surfing grew out of Brown's desire to share the wealth of images found in the Archives' collection. After spending twenty years in the astonishing photo collection of the Archives, he feels that it is an invaluable, but vastly underutilized resource and had envisioned a day when the Museum could begin publishing books that highlighted these images. After many years of careful examination, that vision is now a reality with the publication of Surfing. The Bishop Museum's archives also contain the largest collection of Duke Kahanamoku photographs in the world. Duke's wife Nadine had donated some of the images while she was still alive; the rest she bequeathed to the Museum in her will. The last section of Surfing focuses specifically on Duke, perhaps the world's most legendary surfer. Brown felt that Duke, even today, is an international icon and a preeminent figure in the history of surfing, and wanted to share some of these images, a number of which have never been published before.

Bishop Museum Pr

A wardrobe staple of John Wayne, Elvis Presley, and Bing Crosby, no 1950s Levittown luau or '60s surf party was complete without an aloha shirt. It’s a reminder of the pleasures of the tropical paradise lifestyle and its fabric patterns have evolved into their own works of art. A retrospective look at one of America’s most iconic cultural symbols of island life and its decades-long presence in mainstream fashion around the globe, The Art of the Aloha Shirt is a beautifully illustrated book that tells the complete story of the aloha shirt, from its origins in Hawaii in the early 1930s to its present status as a must-have in the retro fashion closets across the globe. It includes rare photos of vintage aloha shirts and island-inspired accoutrements of island lifestyle from surfboards to cocktail shakers.
