CORRECTION: Archives temporary closure



The corrections in item #3 are in CAPS.  I have deleted the outdated
information.


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.
A TEMPORARY READING ROOM WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE MAIN FLOOR OF THE NEW
ADDITION (HAMILTON, PHASE III).  FROM THE DATE OF THIS TEMPORARY MOVE
THROUGH THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2001, THOUGH I PLAN TO BE ON SABBATICAL
LEAVE FOR SIX OF THESE MONTHS, CATALOGED ARCHIVAL AND MANUSCRIPT
COLLECTIONS WILL BE RETRIEVED BY STAFF WHEN MATERIALS CAN BE ACCESSED.
TWENTY-FOUR HOURS WILL BE NEEDED FOR RETRIEVAL OF THESE MATERIALS.

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.
