Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources

The Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources will develop a virtual museum to enable access to artifacts and documents related to Kaho'olawe, an island that is preserved and protected for Native Hawaiian cultural and spiritual purposes and generally inaccessible to the public. KIRC will work with a software development team to design an interactive web interface and mobile application presenting a fully functioning map of Kaho'olawe that will enable users to virtually explore the island and link to their collection of digitized archival documents. By sharing this collection, the virtual museum will preserve and share cultural heritage and make available currently inaccessible archival materials.
