Join us for a conversation with scholars Lui Tai Lok, Patrick Mok, and Kwong Chi Man discussing their experiences and insights on archival research in Hong Kong.

The exhibition Another Day in Hong Kong, currently on view at AAA’s library, draws on archival materials to reconstruct a day from the past, aiming to inspire new perspectives on contemporary art and history in Hong Kong. For AAA’s Research team, a major takeaway from the project was the opportunity to survey local archives and learn from their archival practices.

To explore this thread further, this conversation will focus on how researchers utilise local archives to conduct research on Hong Kong’s cultural and social histories. Scholars Lui Tai Lok, Patrick Mok, and Kwong Chi Man will share their experiences in conducting archival research in Hong Kong, their observations on local archival practices, and discuss notable practices or challenges they encountered when accessing archives. Moderated by Anthony Yung, this conversation aims to provide an overview of archival resources on Hong Kong histories, and promote the importance of building systematic and sustainable archival practices across various fields.

Free and open to the public with registration. This event will be conducted in Cantonese, with no simultaneous interpretation provided.
