About me

Introduction	It's been nearly 40 years since the original Hawaii Five-0 series ended (1968-80) but artifacts from the production thankfully continue to surface. While some television shows have extensive wardrobes, much of the iconic ensembles worn on Five-0 were few. For example, a screen-worn tie from one episode could also have a life in many others as you will see here. This blog is about documentation and preservation of items that would otherwise just fade into television history...or worse yet, end up in a thrift store without a story or context to follow. This was the longest-running police drama of it's era. And remained in the top 10 shows for many of it's 12-year run. If you have items used in and around the production of Hawaii Five-0 that you would like to see here in this blog please contact: mainlandmuseum@yahoo.com
