Archives temporary closure



Beginning immediately, the Archives at University of Hawaii at Manoa will
go through periods of heavily restricted access.  Please feel encouraged
to forward this message to colleagues, other lists, and anyone else who
may be interested.

1.  From 7 December 2000 through 12 January 2001, archival holdings will
be totally unaccessible while they are moved from one building to a new
building and fumigated, etc.

2.  During spring semester 2001, archival holdings will be available
through Special Collections in Hamilton Library.  Retrieval may require a
twenty-four hour period between the patron's handing in the request and
our being able to provide access.

3.  At the end of spring semester 2001 (about mid-May), all departments in
the older portions of Hamilton Library, including Special Collections,
will close for the summer while renovations and asbestos removal occur.
Beginning in July 2001, I plan to be on sabbatical leave for six months.
As a result, from the closure of Special Collections reading room in May
2001 through December 2001, the Archives will be closed to the public.

4.  Beginning in January 2002, the Archives will open with access through
Special Collections.  Retrieval may once again, as in spring semester
2001, require a twenty-four hour delay between requesting the materials
and obtaining access.

5.  Finally when all departments occupying the new addition leave to
return to the renovated parts of Hamilton Library, Archives will open in
the new facility.  This is projected for the beginning of fall semester
2002.
