[An extraordinary photo and photo negative archive visually documenting the historical archaeological surveys undertaken by Lockwood and Rossie Frost on the Bond Homestead, Kalahikiola Church (erected by the Bond family) south of Kapaau, Hawaii in Kohala, Hawaii originally established in 1841 by Boston missionary Reverend Elias Bond. The majority of the photos focus on the house interior, room appointments, artwork, objects, household goods, medical equipment, documents, and more purchased and used by Dr. Benjamin Bond, son of Elias Bond who substantially added to the home, updating and revising, as well as adding several buildings from 1884 through the early 1900s. The majority of the photos and negatives are black & white, but there is al

Approx. 820 photographs, 760 are 3.25 x 4.5 in. black & white silver gelatin; 40 colour photos (damage to 10 or so from dampstaining at margin, affecting image), all photos carefully marked in black & red ink codes, keyed to the film negatives also included with the archive, many with photo lab stamp on verso, a few with annotations on versos; more than 30 contact negative print strips; 257 strips of film photo negatives with over 1000 images, majority .35 mm. film stock (about 30% in colour); 70 strips of larger 4 x 5 negatives with most of those in colour, nearly all preserved in original wax paper negative sleeves, and almost all carefully marked in pen with numbers corresponding to the printed photos, as well as manuscript annotations indicating places, objects, as well as some dates added in manuscript, or in date codes; 8vo. 35 loose sheets held together with metal clip, in pencil & ink manuscript, dated 1972, diagrams, illustrations (some edgewear, foxing to first & last leaves, minor insect predation to outer leaves), still VG- exemplar. This noteworthy archive consisting of over 820 original photographs, and over 1000 individual negative images provides an essential visual record of the historic archaeological and architectural surveys carried out by the Frosts for the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society beginning in 1967 in the Bond Historic District located in the Iole Ahupua'a, one of the few remaining traditional land divisions in Hawaii. The Bond homestead, Kalahikiola Church, the Kohala Seminary, and attached medical doctor's office, are all located within the Bond District, and the well preserved homestead was first established by Rev. Elias Bond (1813-1896) in 1841, with the Kalahikiola Church completed in 1855 (rebuilt after devastating earthquake in 2006), and the Kohala girl's school founded in 1872. The hundreds of photos show the household objects, textiles, tools, furnishings, documents, artwork, books, equipment, and more all accumulated from 1841 through 1930 by the Bond family. Elias and his wife Ellen had sailed with the Ninth Company of Missionaries from Boston and settled at Kohala, HI in the mission established by Rev. Isaac Bliss who had completed the main building before their arrival. The Bond's immediately began adding additional buildings such as the wash house, archway & walls, foundations of woodshed and carpenter sheds, as well as begun work on the Kalahikiola Church. Rev. Bond had founded the Kohala Sugar Co. in 1862 as "The Missionary Plantation" to support his church and schools, and he refused to institute the slave-like labor conditions of other sugar growers in the Hawaiian Islands. The profits made the Kohala Sugar Co. one of the largest benefactors to other missions operating for 110 years. Many of the artifacts depicted appear to have been accumulated and used by Dr. Benjamin Bond (1853-1930), his son who finished medical school at the Univ. of Michigan in 1882, and returned to live and work on the homestead, with a doctor's office attached to the main house in 1884 for his practice. After Dr. Bond married Emma Mary Renton (1866-1951) in 1889, a wood-framed cottage was added at the East end for them. In addition, a small shed was expanded to shelter a horse carriage and single horse stall for emergency medical calls. A series of photos shows the scene of the Frost's driving to the homestead, and then heading into the Bond properties. The photos meticulously document the china, glassware, stoneware, needlepoint & embroidery samples, an ABC sampler by Eliza Bond signed 1817, silver flatware, bellows, original photos & illustrations of homestead buildings, chairs, large benches, and sideboards. The kitchen, cooking implements, cookware, and equipment receive significant attention with photos showing the ancient kitchen burners, hot water tank, propane or oil-fired stove, historic coral stone chimney, dining chairs, and more. Of particular interest are the extended series of. …
