Have you ever wondered how museums acquire artifacts or relics? In this webinar, we explore the history of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 through a close analysis of the battle damage caused to the USS Arizona battleship, specifically the bulkhead that is now on exhibit at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.

Our featured speakers include Rod Bengston, Director of Exhibits, Restoration and Curatorial Services at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, who will help us to analyze one aspect of the attack on Pearl Harbor and show us how the exhibit at the Museum shares the story of the damage inflicted on the USS Arizona on this fateful day in our history. Daniel Martinez, Chief Historian of USS Arizona Memorial, will show us the precise location on the USS Arizona where the bulkhead was damaged, and James Neuman, History and Outreach Manager at Navy Region Hawaii, will give us insight into the USS Arizona relic program and will share where all of the parts, relics, of the USS Arizona have gone.
