FOREWORD<br />

This study on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> was prepared in response to Senate<br />

Concurrent Resolution No. 56, adopted during <strong>the</strong> 1987 legislative session.<br />

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 56 requested that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> study<br />

<strong>the</strong> feasibility of designating <strong>the</strong> <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> as <strong>the</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

Natural and Cultural History with an annual line item appropriation <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

operation of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>, and to consider state acquisition of <strong>Museum</strong> real<br />

estate properties that are of cultural and historic significance to <strong>the</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />

The study primarily focusses on <strong>the</strong> question of state <strong>funding</strong> to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>.<br />

We extend our sincere appreciation to <strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> staff and<br />

administration <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir gracious cooperation and assistance throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

course of this study.<br />

We also wish to acknowledge administrators of Hawaii state departments<br />

and agencies, and state agencies, museum organizations, and museums around<br />

<strong>the</strong> nation who responded thoughtfully to our questionnaires and provided us<br />

with valuable in<strong>for</strong>mation and help.<br />

January 1988<br />
