Comments

To whom it may concern,

I am Yiuwa, senior research administrator from Hong Kong History Centre, University of Bristol. Hope you are doing well.

We are producing a video series called 'Hong Kong Academy', which invites scholars to lecture on different topics in Hong Kong History. The videos, when finished, will be uploaded on YouTube for educational purposes. We have finished our last video series of 'Hong Kong Documented', though not the same format of this time, but that may help you for your reference.

We are looking for photos for the videos production, may I know the sources of this photo, and if this if from you, can I ask is it possible for you to grant us the free licensing to use the photo?

Many thanks. Looking forward to hearing from you. 

You can reach me at yiuwa.chung@bristol.ac.uk

Best wishes,
Yiuwa

Instead of leaving comments in every photo, may I list the photos we hope you can grant us free licensing to use here?
