IMUA Polenisia was the official newsletter of the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), published to communicate news, accomplishments, and developments throughout the organization to employees, alumni, supporters, and the broader Polynesian Cultural Center community. Published from the early 1990s through the 2010s, the newsletter documented the Center's mission of preserving and sharing the cultures of Polynesia while highlighting the people whose work contributed to its success. As the Polynesian Cultural Center grew as one of Hawaiʻi's leading cultural institutions, IMUA Polenisia served as an important record of its programs, performances, educational initiatives, and community outreach.
The newsletter features articles on cultural presentations, village programs, special events, employee and student achievements, leadership updates, facility improvements, educational partnerships, and milestones in the Center's history. Regular coverage highlights the contributions of Brigham Young University–Hawaii students who worked and performed at the Polynesian Cultural Center, documenting the close relationship between the two institutions and their shared mission of cultural education, service, and student development. The publication also records anniversaries, new exhibits, international visitors, community service, and stories celebrating the diverse cultures represented at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
The IMUA Polenisia Newsletter Collection consists of 104 digitized newsletters dating from 1991 to 2017 preserved by Brigham Young University–Hawaii University Archives and Special Collections. Because the collection represents the issues retained by the University Archives, it is not a complete run of every newsletter published during this period. Nevertheless, these newsletters provide a valuable institutional record of the Polynesian Cultural Center's history and document more than two decades of cultural programming, organizational development, and the experiences of the students, employees, performers, and leaders who contributed to the Center's mission of perpetuating and sharing the cultures of Polynesia.
