DEADLINE TO NOMINATE SITES TO THE LIST OF THE 9 MOST ENDANGERED HISTORIC SITES IN HAWAI‘I IS JULY 29, 2009

Please nominate a threatened historic site to the list of the 9 Most Endangered Historic Sites in Hawai‘i. In partnership with Honolulu Magazine and the Hawai‘i State Historic Preservation Division, Historic Hawai‘i Foundation annually names additions to the Most Endangered list, which will be published in Honolulu Magazine in the fall.

Nominations will help us determine additions to this list by identifying historic sites across Hawai‘i that are in danger of being lost, whether by neglect, disaster or deliberate demolition. While inclusion on the list does not protect the sites, it does draw attention to the risk of loss and helps to compel action.

If you know of a historic site that should be added to the list, please let us know by completing the nomination form on our website.

Be sure to include information about the location of the site, why it is historic, how it is endangered, how it could be preserved, and a photograph. You can also alert us by phone (808) 523-0800 or by emailing Katie Kastner at Katie@historichawaii.org.
