Using Ulukau, The Hawaiian Electronic Library
JOURNAL Now, go back to the top of the screen and click on "Ulukau" and go back to the start, here:
Next we'll look at yet another special feature, the first one on this page, "Ka Hoʻoilina: Puke Pai ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi" ("The Legacy: Journal of Hawaiian Language Sources"). This is an annual journal that reproduces materials out of the archives. Click on this, and see:
In the middle of the screen, it says "Enter". Click on that, and see:
This is an introduction to the journal website. You will also note that near the top of the screen it says, About the Journal: Editor's Introduction, Table of Marks, Bibliographic Resources, Acknowledgments, Copyrights, and Links. All these can be clicked on and will give you interesting information. Slightly above this list is another list that says, "Word", "Date", "Journal", and "Section". These are all methods of searching. For now click on "Journal" and you will see this:
This shows you issues of the journal that are on the website. Go ahead and click on the first one, and you will see this:
This lists the articles that appear in that issue of the journal. Now, if you look back towards the top-left of the screen, you will see the list with "Word", "Date", "Journal", and "Section". This time, click on "Date", and you will see this:
This lists the materials that have appeared in the journal. Click on, say, the middle one ("1838-1882"), and you will see this:
These are articles from the journal of materials that appeared originally between 1838 and 1882. Next go back to the top-left with the list of "Word", "Date", "Journal", and "Section". This time, click on "Section", and you will see this:
Each issue of the journal includes materials from most of these sections. For now, click on the second section ("Government Documents") and you will see this:
This takes the "government documents" materials from each issue and arranges them in order in one place on the web. The "government documents" on the journal began with the Hawaiian constitutions, so you can see all of them arranged here. For now, go back to the top-left of the screen where there is the list with "Word", "Date", "Journal", and "Section". This time, click on "Word". This gives you a regular search system where you can search by word, and you see this:
This operates like the rest of Ulukau. One interesting thing is that the journal reproduces things from the archives and gives them in three languages: the original Hawaiian, a translation into contemporary Hawaiian (with ʻokina and kahakō), and a translation into English. The search will look through all articles from all issues of the journal, and also through all languages. For now, type in "constitution" and hit "Return" and this is what you will see:
It says it found the word "constitution" 59 times, within 12 documents. Then it lists the 12 documents. Look at the second one on the list. It has the usual small symbol for text, and then gives the name of the document: "The 1839 Constitution (English Version)". It then gives an example of the document, with the word in bold: "Whatever chief shall perseveringly act in violation of this Constitution, shall no longer...." Let's look at this document. Click on the little symbol, and see this:
This constitution was translated informally at the time, and appeared in a publication called "The Hawaiian Spectator." As in other places in Ulukau, the word you searched for ("constitution") appears in yellow. Scroll down two more lines so that it says "Hawaiian Islands". Notice how there is a little footnote number 1, that appears in blue. Click on it, and see this:
Notice how you have moved to the bottom of the piece and can see footnote #1, which comments that "The title presented here is from a separate publication in 1839 that published the English translation of the Constitution." Right after the footnote it says "return" in blue. Click that and see:
Notice how you have moved back, and the line with the footnote #1 is at the top of the screen.
Next, to read the introduction of this constitution, click on "Introduction" along the right side, and you see this:
Under "Introduction" on the right side, it says "Version" and then "1", "2", and "3". Click on "3" and you see this:
That's right, this is the same English translation you saw before. The English is the "version 3" of this constitution. Now, along the right side, click on version "2" and you will see this:
This "version 2" is the contemporary Hawaiian. Now, along the right side again, click on version "1" and you will see this:
This is the original Hawaiian, without ʻokina or kahakō. Now, along the right side, notice where it says "Original Image" and under that, "Full". Click on "Full" and it will show this:
This is the original 1839 constitution. Like all images on Ulukau, you can magnify the image, or even save it on your computer. Now, at the top of the screen, hit the "back-arrow" to return to this screen:
Along the right side it says "Viewing" and "Detach Text". This has the same result as elsewhere on Ulukau: the main text is given on a new browser window without the menu commands. There is also an option of "Highlight" "On" and "Off". This gets rid of the yellow words, just as it does elsewhere on Ulukau. Now, along the right side it says "PDF File". Click on this, and you will see:
This is an image from the actual journal. Notice how it is like a spread-open book. There is some written material near the top of the left and right pages, and then four columns. With the actual journal, this consists of two columns on the left-side page, and two on the right-side page. Use the "+" button on the screen to magnify and then move around to see it all. You'll notice that the writing at the top is the introduction, with Hawaiian on the left and English on the right. The first column is "version 1" or original Hawaiian. The next column is "version 2" or contemporary Hawaiian. The next column is "version 3" or English. And the last column is the bilingual footnotes. You can print or save this copy of the journal. Click on the "back-arrow" at the top of the screen to get back to the regular screen:
Along the right side you will see "Audio", the "Streaming", then "Download", and then "2 Mb". This means that we have recorded this piece (all pieces from the first two issues have been recorded). By clicking on "Streaming" you should be able to hear it through the speakers on your own computer. By clicking on "Download" you should be able to download the audio file. The file is 2 Megabytes in size. Different computers have different ways to stream or download audio. Many schools block streaming and downloading for their students. So you may have to work out some details to have these work. The files, by the way, are in the "MP3" audio format, which is a common format for audio recordings. Also along the right side, at the top, it says "Options (click here for details)". Click on that and a small window opens like this:
This covers the options explained above in more detail. Continue to next section...
