Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
This question arrived by email:
I have an idea on making a list of the managers of HK Tramways, however there is lack of information. Has someone in gwulo website contributed such knowledge or having worked in the tramways company?
We don't have that list - does anyone else know if it has been compiled already?
The Jurors List project will help you. eg in the 1911 list I can see:

Would you be able to recommend the best make of scanner for scanning old black and white photos, some of them curly? I've been recommended a Canon 9500 for reproducing the colour pictures that I normally use for my Powerpoint presentations, but I've noticed a review saying that it isn't good for enhancing old, maybe scratched black and white photos and especially not negatives. Grateful if you have a recommendation.
I use an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner. It has an optical resolution of 3200dpi. When I scan old photos I scan at 2400dpi, so that's plenty.
Does anyone know the exact location of "Magistracy Street, Victoria Hong Kong" in 1840s? Also, who is J. Dos Anjos Xavier?
Hi there,
I am on the slope of Ho Hok Shan, facing approximately SW right now. In the past 20 minutes or so I have walked along and acrossed quite a few trenches. They are mostly over growned and some of the slopes are quite steep. The hill is nothing that tall, but it feel great up here despite the smog. I will go up the top of the hill before making the decision of going to Nam San Wai or about turn and make for Tai Lam, or even Tsuen Wan. Photos would have to wait.
More later.

I am researching a book and am interested in the social side to the Hong Kong Cricket Club in the years leading up to World Ward 2. I am also keen to see any photos of the inside of the old building. Hong Kong is reputed to have been quite racist pre war and I would like to know how this manifested itself at the cricket club. The first eleven after all played against mix raced teams and as far as I know also included players who were not white or British. How did this play out given the morality of the times? Was there any 'apartheid' evident in the club facilities?
Could anybody tell me when the original Clearwater Bay Rd was built?
I am under the impression it was well before the war and was a military road along which there were various amunition depots. It must have gone then to the end of the peninsular as the Seventh Day Adventist college ( Sam Yuk Middle School) bought 40 acres of land at their current site in 1937.

Is Gwulo the right place for Geneology information? Sites like Geni.com would let me enter the information above easily, organize it, and it would be easy to view. I don't think that Gwulo is set up for this kind of thing.
