The Library has entered into a trial of Artstor, running through the end of the Fall 2022 semester: December 16, 2022.
What is Artstor?
Artstor is a database that features over 2 million images from museums, archives, libraries, scholars, and artists, which have all been cleared for educational and research use. "Scholars can examine wide-ranging material such as Native American art from the Smithsonian, treasures from the Louvre, and panoramic, 360-degree views of the Hagia Sophia in a single, easy-to-use resource" (Artstor, n.d.). During the trial, Artstor images will also appear directly through image searching within JSTOR.
To take advantage of all the features Artstor has to offer during the trial, you will need to create a personal account. Please keep in mind the library is participating in a temporary trial, and the Library cannot guarantee this will become a permanent resource. See the video below for instructions on creating a personal account. Note: You are not required to subscribe to newsletters and promotions or surveys in order to create a login.

Himeyuri and Hawaii Exhibition
When: August 14th - December 20th, 2024, during library hours
Location: 1st Floor, Lama Library, near the Hawaiʻi-Pacific Collection
Lama Library invites you to visit us and view the traveling exhibition, “Himeyuri and Hawaii.” We are pleased to host this exhibit through the end of the Fall semester. Created by the Himeyuri Peace Museum in Okinawa, this exhibit tells the story of the Himeyuri Student Corps, comprised of female students from the Okinawa First Girls' High School and the Okinawa Female Normal School, who were mobilized to serve as assistant nurses during the Battle of Okinawa, in 1945. Many of the young students lost their lives, and by the war's end, 136 out of 245 students had died.
Learn about the story of the Himeyuri students, and discover the connections between Himeyuri and the people of Hawaiʻi through the years.
The exhibition has 2 parts. Part 1, outlines the experiences of Himeyuri and the Battle of Okinawa, and Part 2 outlines the connections between Himeyuri and Hawaiʻi.
The exhibition was previously on display at the UH West Oʻahu Library, and at Hamilton Library at UH Mānoa.
