Kalaupapa National Historical Park: Museum Management Plan
The Kalaupapa National Historical Park Museum Management Plan identifies a series of collections management issues facing the park and presents corresponding actions to address them. The park is currently managing an archives estimated at 137,000 items; a library estimated at 800 titles; and museum collections estimated at 134,000 items, for an estimated total of about 271,000 items. The collections have passed through a primary development phase that was outlined in the Collection Management Plan completed in 1983. Two seminal events, the addition of a journeyman-level curator to the staff and the construction of a collections facility, have completely changed the collections management and use dynamics at the park. However, the new program and facility lack status and definition within the park and the community as a whole. This should be corrected by an overall program identity, supported by internal protocols for collections development, preservation, and use, and followed by the necessary planning and programming for the projects, funds, and staff to move the program forward. This Museum Management Plan offers recommendations for actions designed to take the park archives, library, and museum collections through the next developmental phase, leading to full program integration.
