Bishop Museum
Honolulu, HI

Under our theme, this year’s conference will include four sub-tracks:

Observing Our World: Science and Our Institutions
In this sub-track, we’ll explore how our institutions share science with visitors, including stories of climate resiliency, climate awareness, observations of the physical world and sustainable resource management.

How the Brain Learns: Education and Our Institutions
In this sub-track, we’ll explore how our institutions create engaging, enriching, and educational programs informed by science and research. Presenters will share their knowledge on program and exhibit development, STEAM, educational standards, and building partnerships between our institutions, teachers, principals and the Department of Education.

Stewardship at Our Institutions: Resource Management and Our Institutions
In this sub-track, we’ll explore back-of-house sciences necessary for preserving our treasured resources. encourages proposals Presentations will help us consider the sciences of resource management, disaster preparedness, pest management, traditional care and the latest technology used in the stewardship of cultural materials.

Mind Your Money: Our Institutions and Business Management

Why aren’t there Hawaiian diacriticals on this site?

EXPLANATION OF HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE

Written Hawaiian uses two diacritical markings as pronunciation guides:

  • The ‘okina, which is typographically represented as a reversed apostrophe. In spoken Hawaiian, the ‘okina indicates a glottal stop, or clean break between vowels. If your browser supports this display (and it may not, depending on browser type and settings), an ‘okina should look like this: ‘. If browsing conditions do not support this display, you might be seeing a box, a blank space, or odd-looking character instead.
  • The kahako, or macron, which is typographically represented as a bar above the letter, as in ā (again, you will see it correctly only if your browser delivers it correctly). The macron on a vowel indicates increased duration in pronunciation of the vowel that it appears over.

Web browsers sometimes have difficulty reproducing these markings without the use of graphics, special fonts, or special coding. Even correctly authored Web pages that use Unicode coding may be transmitted through a server that displays the symbols incorrectly or the browser may use a replacement font that displays these incorrectly.

Since most browsers can and do display the ASCII grave symbol (‘) as coded, this site uses the grave symbol to represent the ‘okina. We do depict the correct ‘okina on all pages in the title graphic because it is embedded in the graphic and not displayed as text.

The kahako/macron is more problematic. Given the problems with displaying this with current technology, some websites resort to displaying these with diaeresis characters instead, as in ä, which will appear in most browsers (but not all) as an “a” with two dots over it. However, this is not a desirable solution because it doesn’t work uniformly in all browser situations. Until Unicode fonts are more universally displayable, the site reluctantly omits the kahako from most text.
