John F. G. Stokes was a pioneer in the field of Hawaiian archaeology. In 1909, he traveled to Moloka\\u2018i where he documented known heiau through photography and detailed mapping. With the generous support of the Hawai\\u2018i Council for the Humanities, Bishop Museum\\u2019s Anthropology and Library & Archives departments have built a new database that includes Stokes\\u2019 unpublished maps of the heiau of Moloka\\u2018i. At this special presentation, Dr. Mara Mulrooney, Director of Cultural Resources will share information about Stokes\\u2019 work and legacy, and the museum will celebrate the launch of the new online resource.'
