In this presentation from the ICA SBA 17 in Stockholm, Amelia Allsop, Research Manager at the Hong Kong Heritge Project (HKHP), introduces the business archives landscape in Hong Kong, the work of HKHP in promoting and preserving numerous Kadoorie corporate brands, as well as its efforts to record Hong Kong’s wider history through its oral history programme.
In recent years, business archives have played an increasingly vital role in the preservation of Hong Kong’s history and memory. Amelia Allsop explains how.
