From our humble beginnings of just a handful of photographs and records in 1978, we’ve grown our collections into an extensive record of the people, places, and history of Kona. The stories found in our archives paint a vivid picture of post-contact life in Kona, one that we strive to share with locals and visitors alike.
In order to share these stories with even more people, we’re developing some online tools so you can request permission to use our historic images or schedule an in-person visit to the archives.
While you wait, please visit some of these pages to learn more about the Kona Historical Society. If you need immediate assistance, contact us here.
