​The "Search Multiple Historic Newspaper Collections All At Once" website, elephind.com has just published an update, that includes many more items and issues from 1 new collection:







​(from the Elephind Blog):


"This month, we introduce newspaper content from the Papakilo database, from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The name Papakilo, was provided by Puakea Nogelmeier and Kau'i Sai-Dudoit, and selected by OHA's CEO, Ka Pouhana Dr. Kamana'opono Crabbe. The definition of Papakilo is "a foundation for seeking, searching, observing." Dr. Crabbe expands on this definition by saying that the name Papakilo "embraces the function of the database which not only implies seeking or to search, but the continual exploration of infinite spaces, levels of knowledge as a perpetual cycle for the next generations to come." By adding this collection, Elephind extends its geographical coverage to the State of Hawaii as well as its language coverage to include Hawaiian."
