Records of the Hawaiian Post Office

  • US HSA HPO
  • Series
  • 1856-1901

The Incoming Correspondence to the Postmaster General constitutes a major portion of records of the Post Office Department. This correspondence, usually from the district postmasters to the Postmaster General, includes accounts and business reports, requests for stamps, and complaints about mail routes, shipping, missing mails, and lost keys for mailbags.

Another important record source, the Postmaster General letterbooks, detail the workings of the post office, both internally and internationally, from 1856 to 1901.
