Hello,
First of all, congratulations on an amazing site. Very interesting.
And, I have a query. I'm researching a book called Earth Then and Now for a London book publisher, and I'm currently looking for old photographs of Hong Kong Island from Kowloon. I found one by chance on your side taken in 1979, but Ideally I'd like to see some earlier ones. I would be very grateful for any advice regarding archives/collections I can get in touch with.
Many thanks and best,
Emma O'Neill

re: Kowloon side
Here are a couple of older views from the 1920s and 1950s.
And some other sources listed here.
