Trouble at the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division

The Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division is in danger of losing its federal funding. Sounds like not much improved in that division since we chronicled its troubles in depth, in Nov. 2007's "Bones of Contention."

The state’s Historic Preservation Division is in the news again, this time in danger of losing Federal funding, according to reports in the city’s dailies, see here and here.

We explored the history of the division and its and longstanding problems in our Nov. 2007 feature, “Bones of Contention.” Anyone hoping to understand the division’s current trouble will appreciate the context and background this feature provides.
