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! Linda Newman University of Nevada Reno
