The Pūmanamana Project will create a public heritage resource for those interested in mele Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian music) by hosting a free, online index to guide users as they interact in a virtual library and digital archive of mele. The multi-dimensional catalogue facilitates anything related to mele Hawaiʻi for all audiences, from leisurely enjoyment of the various subgenres of Hawaiʻi’s musical traditions to interdisciplinary academic research using this ethnomusicological corpus as a primary source.
