State Archivist and LIS Adjunct Instructor to bring back Queen Lili驶uokalani’s Royal Standard, as well as letters and documents related to the overthrow. The items were to be auctioned off but were instead acquired by the State Archives, thanks to $60,000 in donations that enabled the State to purchase the items. The Royal Standard was the queen’s personal flag that was flown over her home in Honolulu on the day she was overthrown. Jansen was quoted as saying, “I will be treating the queen’s personal flag as representing the queen herself. It has mana. The flag is an important piece of the story of Hawai驶i coming back to the people after more than a century.”
