https://archivesspace.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/repositories/4/resources/162

Approximately 1200 record center boxes of Senator Spark M. Matsunaga's papers were received by the University of Hawaii Library shortly after his death in 1990. The formal deed of gift was signed in October 1997. Between those two dates Matsunaga's longtime administrative assistant Cherry Matano organized some of the large amount of material left unfiled because of the Senator's unexpected death and the short time allowed for closing his Washington, D.C., office. She also created the “After” files (after his death), now in the Biography Subseries of the Personal Series. The bulk of the collection was processed from 1998 through 2004.
