Hawaiian Bible project benefits from OHA grant

Advertiser Staff

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs this month will give a grant of $191,849 to fund the Baibala Hemolele, or Hawaiian Bible.

The money will be applied toward creating an audio recording of the project and conducting workshops demonstrating how to use the Web site, http://www.baibala.org, which contains digital images of every page of the 1837-1839 Palapala Hemolele, the 1868 Baibala Hemolele and the 1994 Baibala Hemolele as well as a searchable computer text of the 1994 version.

Diacritical marks are in the process of being added.
