In 1948, Koji Ariyoshi, a social activist, published a labor focused newspaper called the Honolulu Record. Founded o social change, Koji wanted to present another view on local and world issues, especially issues that affected the working class people of Hawaii.

The Center for Labor understands the importance of this type of resource when researching historical events. Believing in multi-media approach, the Center hopes to re-tell the stories in a manner that brings them to life.
