Dairy Farm Co Advertisments

Submitted by habaan on Mon, 03/13/2023 - 02:13

I'm working on my dissertation about the milk culture of Hong Kong and I have been trying for a very long time to find ads released by the Dairy Farm, Co., particularly in its early years. I tried using the HKPL and HKGRO databases but to no avail given that their search functions are virtually useless (compared to the other digital archives that I have thoroughly enjoyed when researching the culinary history of the Americas and the UK).  I realized that the HKPL search function completely ignores ads and can barely highlight anything of importance.

1920s Hong Kong

Hello there

I'm lucky enough to be returning to HK next month after a 25 year absence - anything changed? :)

I lived there between 1992 and 94 and am so excited about visiting again and seeing old (and new) sites. Im particularly interested in colonial HK and the police force as it would have been in the 1920s.

Could you recommend the best places to visit to see colonial buildings and/or the history of the police force from that period? I did see a youtube video about the old Central Police Station opening as a museum - would that be worth a visit?
