SCR 169 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE STATE ARCHIVES TO EXPAND PUBLIC OUTREACH, SHARE HAWAII'S HISTORY THAT MAY PROVE RELEVANT TODAY, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, AND EVALUATE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT ITS MISSION.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 169) requests the State Archives to expand public outreach, share Hawaii's history with modern relevance, and create opportunities for public discussion and civic engagement - particularly highlighting perspectives from women, immigrants, and Native Hawaiians. It also directs the Department of Accounting and General Services to study revenue opportunities for funding a new Archives facility, which would include expanded storage, public display areas, digital classrooms, and a civics education center. The resolution does not create new laws but formally asks these state entities to take specific actions to support the Archives' mission and address facility constraints.
