Archival and Library Holdings
We store and care for over 800,000 archival records and library items documenting the different aspects of the government, its interaction with the community as well as major events and activities that shape the change and development of Hong Kong. They were transferred by over 300 government agencies, private organizations and individuals, and cover matters such as finance and commerce, education, transportation, land development, and legal and social issues.
These rich and often unique information resources, dated from the mid 19th century to the present, are held in different formats ranging from files, bound volumes, photographs, posters, maps and plans to films. They are described according to international standards in the Online Catalogues. Many are digitized for convenient on-line and remote access.
Visit the Resource Gallery and Online Exhibition to view different aspects of the fascinating history of Hong Kong.
