Are you the repository for Henry Kuʻualoha Giugni’s personal papers?

No. Our name honors the memory of Henry Kuʻualoha Giugni, former United States Senate Sergeant-At-Arms and long-time aide to Senator Daniel Inouye. Although there is footage of Henry Giugni in our collections, we primarily house moving image materials from a variety of sources which relate to and document the history, culture and stories of the people of Hawaiʻi and which illuminate life in Hawaiʻi from different regions and eras.
