Nearby: San Bruno, CABy Maile Arvin, Ph.D. Over the summer, rumors started to spread that a key archive for Hawaiian history would be closed. I was concerned to hear this, as a scholar of Hawaiian history, especially since I have always meant to visit this archive but have yet to make it. It requires some intentional planning to get to from Hawaiʻi. It’s the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regional facility of San Francisco, located in San Bruno, close to SFO airport. This facility opened in 1973. It holds documents created or used by the United States federal government on a wide range of issues. Basically any topic for which there is, or was in the past, a related federal government agency (e.g. immigration, commerce, veteran’s affairs), has a corresponding group of archival documents.
