Hawaii's state archives are opening up their Waikiki collection for National Archives Month, a small bit of good news for anyone interested in the islands' past.

• The Hawaii State Archives Division is posting Waikiki photos and historical details online and on social media every day this month.
• Some of the images have never been shown to the public before.
• The Department of Accounting and General Services picked Waikiki as this year's theme because it is Hawaii's best-known tourist spot.
• The push is meant to keep local history from being forgotten or lost.

Outlook: New photos and write-ups will keep rolling out through the end of October.
