Introduction

Welcome! and thank you for coming to the homepage of the Hong Kong Studies Digital Initiatives.

Click on the Hong Kong in Photograph tab to read about our introductory project, "Hong Kong in Photographs: Mapping Daily Life in the 1950s - 1960s." Play around with the interactive map and learn about this unique tool in connecting with the past. This Digital History project was started by Ryan Sun, a graduate student in the History Department at the University of British Columbia.
