Now through October 2009
Salvaged from trash cans in 1964 and then stashed in archives for decades, a collection of glass plate photographs capturing life in the Kingdom of Hawai`i from 1883-1905 has been resurrected in Na Pa`i Ki`i `o Brother Bertram.
As the first Marianist principal of St. Louis College (now St. Louis School in Honolulu), German-born Brother Bertram Gabriel Bellinghausen left a legacy of education and service to the islands. As a pioneering photographer with a particular interest in the maka`āinana or common people, his legacy includes nearly 2,000 images of the people and landscape of turn-of-the-century Hawai`i. This exhibition features a selection of photos of Hawai`i Island.

Mission House
|
|
The Lyman Museum began in the Lyman Mission House, originally built in 1839 for New England missionaries David and Sarah Lyman.
Nearly 100 eventful years later, in 1931, the museum was established by their descendants. Today the Mission House has been restored and is on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
The sitting-room, where the Lyman family would gather in evenings for reading and prayer.
Attic of the Lyman Mission House, built in 1856. The original (1839) `ohia roof beams are evident along with the Douglas fir beams that changed the roof line for the 1856 zinc roof.
