Henry Ku'ualoha Giugni (HKG) Archives Honolulu, Hawaii
Prior to the establishment of the HKG Archive there was no institution in the state dedicated to the preservation of the rich audiovisual heritage of Hawaii.

Archival Media Consulting helped find a permanent home for the HKG Archive at the University of Hawaii, West Oahu. Throughout the project a sprit of collaboration and support was fostered amongst the media community including production companies, broadcast stations, libraries, and individuals creating and sharing media that documented the Hawaiian narrative.
