The Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp was one of several camps in Hawai'i where Japanese American, Italian, and German citizens were interned during World War II. Honouliuli became part of the National Register of Historic Places on Feb. 21, 2012. The Facebook page was created to teach others about the past, present, and future of the Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp. Many of the pictures are from Field Archaeology courses that have been clearing and documenting the site.

Congress established the historic site to protect and interpret the historical and cultural resources associated with the relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
