Does anyone know where I would go to find old maps of Oahu. I'm talking ancient maps that show villages etc.

Question

I found one awesome map on-line (David Rumsey collection) but should I check someplace like Bishop Museum or is there an archives building in Town somewhere? Sorry, this country boy doesn't travel far. I get lost when I go into town. Mahalo.

Answer 1

British navel archives

Answer 2

Try the archives near the Iolani Palace.  Even the main library might be a good place...

Answer 3

I think this link and, more specifically, the overall site, are incredible. Good place to start.
