The HAWAII SHEET MUSIC INDEX is a special database accessible through the University of Hawaii's Hawaii Voyager online catalog.
The Index was developed in 1990 by librarian Michaelyn Chou with a federal grant through Alu Like. Data collection was done by Native Hawaiian librarian Robert Velligas. The index includes approximately 1,300 bibliographic records for Hawaiian language songs and songs about Hawaii. Searches may be done by song title, subtitle, first line, composer, lyricist, and place name, if applicable. Titles in the union catalog are held by the Bishop Museum Library, the Hawaii State Library, and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Hamilton Library, Hawaiian Collection. Plans have been made to expand the database by adding new titles acquired by the participating libraries and to add titles from other libraries in Hawaii which have substantial sheet music holdings.
