| dcterms.abstract | This thesis investigates participatory collaborative relationships between a heritage center on North Hawaiʻi Island and two community groups, the Hāmākua Jodo Mission (HJM) and the Camp Tarawa Foundation (CTF). Using multi-disciplinary lenses including feminism, critical museology, and the New Museology, I examine museum trends toward democratic approaches in exhibit development through physical and online platforms. These approaches reposition “experts” in museums to better represent the voices of those being featured. Qualitative methods involve semistructured interviews and employ the local conversational style of “talk story” to engage with participating communities (both local and those with local connections). Two modes of collaborative exhibits are presented, including the online platform, Historypin.org and physical exhibits. This thesis positions the voices of the participants as the authority by focusing on topics they chose and guided. I demonstrate that a small, regional heritage center can successfully collaborate with and build positive relationships with local communities around exhibit-building and heritage-sharing. | |
