*The Center for Korean Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is

*Hawaii's Archives of the Korean Diaspora*
*Plantation Labor, Korea's Independence, POW Internment, Kalama Valley
Protests, and Comfort Women Records*

Wednesday, October 30, 2024, 9:40am to 4:30pm
Thursday, October 31, 2024, 9:30am to 12:30pm
Center for Korean Studies Conference Room


   - *A joint conference* with South Korea's leading archival agency,
the *National
   Institute of Korean History 국사편찬위원회.*


   - This conference is an outcome of a *two-year long planning and
   research* on numerous archives at the University of Hawai‘i, including
   the *Hamilton Library*, the *Center for Korean Studies*, and the *Center
   for Oral History*, as well as the *Japanese Cultural Center *and
the *Hawai‘i
   State Archives*.


   - Highlights include the Korean diaspora’s involvement in *Korea’s
   independence movement*, the tragic experience of the *Honouliuli
   Internment Camp*, the everyday life of *plantation labor,* and the
*solidarity
   activities in the Kalama Valley Protests* of early 1970s. The conference
   is to feature *“comfort women” documents* as well.


   - *Research on the Korean diaspora* in Hawai‘i and elsewhere in the
   world is at a crucial and *necessary point of going* *beyond the topic
   of identity and cultural preservation toward the domains of change,
   resistance, and solidarity*—how the Korean people all over the world
   resisted oppression and forged solidarity with local peoples.


   - In Hawai‘i, for instance, *Koreans actively participated in the Kalama
   Valley Protests of early 1970*s, carrying out resistance against
   reckless development and standing alongside other groups to *fight for
   the rights and justice of Hawaiians and local residents.*
