In addition to my activities with student organizations I was also an employee in the Desktop Networking Services (DNS) department at the Thomas Hale Hamilton Library.  As a DNS employee I was tasked with aiding in the digitization of some of UHM’s unique Hawaiian collections for both research support, as well as preservation of the materials.  I was fortunate enough to work with some rather rare and unique newspapers such as The Hawaii Mainichi, and The Roach.
