Folks,   one of our geography faculty is involved in a cartographic
project regarding historic Hawaii maps.  Specifically, an issue
involving the nature of the survey system used.  Yes, I have directed
him to U. of Hawaii and he has talked to Ross and Riley.  I have just
directed him to Gary Fitzpatrick as well.



In your collections, do you have any Hawaii maps dating roughly
1880-1900?  Are they on a web site?  Do you have any experts on your
campus re historic Hawaii??

Finding a map which contains an explanation of the particular system
would be very helpful.   He is checking various web sites  [Rumsey,
etc.] now.



Thank you for any help or direction!
