Current Exhibition

Photographs are some of the most popular and widely sought-after items in the Public Records Office (PRO) of the Government Records Service. To illustrate how photographs may be utilized for helping members of the public learn about the history of their local community, this exhibition, entitled "Snapshots on Hong Kongˇs Light Industries in the 1950s & the 1960s" uses historical photographs extracted from the Feature Article Dossiers with Photographs (Hong Kong Records Series 365) as supplemented by archival records and government publications to briefly review certain sectors in the Hong Kong light industries in the 1950s and the 1960s.

This exhibition is open to the public free of charge from 9 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays (except public holidays) in our Exhibition Hall on 2/F., Hong Kong Public Records Building, 13 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon.
