Time to Remember is the title of one series of programs by Radio Hong Kong (RTHK). It started broadcast in January 1968. The last broadcast may be in mid 1974.
About 56 recordings of the 60s are stored under HKPL, added up to total 200 together with the ones of the 70s. They comprise interviews of noted persons of the time, from different walks of life. Some interviewees are covered in 2 or 3 parts, each program is about 45 mins.
As some samples listened, they are mostly in good condition. Name of the lady radio host is not listed, but possibly is somewhere on newspapers of the 60-70s. [+]
This is a rather valuable resource in time, when free to air TV was just at its begin in HK then. Among them may be some gems of public service broadcasting. There may be relevant stories and oral history to gwulo readers and researchers as well, for the back years, history via persons. I would think there may be other intersections to be discovered.
Below are some of the names on this series in time order. I may update more to the list, if more fresh findings.
James Norman (1968-1-7), Commissioner of Prisons
Dhun Ruttonjee (1968)
George Endacott (c.1968), historian
Bill Knowles (1969)
Annie Skaus-Bernstein (sic, 1971) [1]
Anthony Hopkins (sic, 1973) composer, conductor; adjudicator of HK Schools Music Festival [1]

This post springs from a gwulo readers' discovery (here) back in 2010. Explored further from the MMIS revealed above recordings of the 1960s-70s, apparently only few of them have been mentioned or curated on the internet.
