Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
David, would it be possible to create a gallery for photos taken in the aftermath of the various Hong Kong typhoons in consecutive date order? I uploaded one of the damage to the Bungalow at 19 Broadwood Road where my family lived, but it took me a while to verify that the date was 1930.
I would appreciate any information that can be provided on Susannah (aka Susie) Weill and her family (Rosie and Albert Weill). Susannah married my first cousin Alexander Hutton Potts in December 1928 but I have not been able to uncover anything about the Weill family other than a newspaper clipping regarding the death of Albert Weill. The names of 2 sons are mentioned in the article but only use their initials rather than their full names. Also, I would like to know Rosie's maiden name. Thanks for any assistance.
I am trying to find out the name of the person behind the pseudonym `Vinjar`. He/she wrote letters to the South China Morning Post in 1936 and 1937 on wildlife matters,such as the dhole and may have known G.Herklots.
The CLP History Film Project is a documentary detailing the history of CLP (China Light & Power) and the ways in which its development has become interlinked with the development of Hong Kong as a whole, as well as its more recent investments in China and India. We are currently searching for archive film footage of Hong Kong from the early 20th Century onwards. Having searched through the local government records service and resources, we would welcome any submissions or leads to private collections and other archive sources!
I've got the upgraded maps to the point where you can try them out. So for "Map of all Places", here's the old version:

In science there is a term called data mining – extraction of new informations and interrelations from already existing data. I had the idea of image mining – using images on Gwulo for new (unreported) connections and timelines.
My special interests are buildings on Barker Road, so I chose from Gwulo photos of Victoria Gap and the Peak Tram with Barker Road on them.
Let’s start in 1890. This one was probably taken from Severn Road and shows the Peak Tram and Mount Austin.
Notes from the 'Gwulo in 2016' post:
Upgrade imaging. The software we use to handle images is due for an upgrade, and so is the zooming viewer we use to display them.
