PRESERVING FAMILY COLLECTIONS WORKSHOP
In 2008 eFIL was awarded a grant from the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts to conduct workshops on preserving family collections. The intent of these workshop has been to encourage individuals to consider their personal and family records, photographs, documents and other memorabilia as potentially vital in the writing of community histories of Hawaii. Because the experiences of Hawaii's ethnic minorities have rarely been included in mainstream historical accounts, their stories and the significance of their experiences has yet to be assessed or appreciated by the larger community. This situation is especially critical for documenting the Filipino community because of their numbers in Hawaii and the constant influx of new immigrants from the Philippines.
By encouraging individual Filipinos to properly preserve and organize their family collections, eFIL hopes to bring some of these resources to the wider public through the internet.
