Dear Gwulo users,
My name is Rachel and I'm a part-time MSc Library and Information Management student at University of Hong Kong. I'm currently working on my Capstone Project which examines user participation in online community archives, using Gwulo as a reference point.

ANNUALLY RECURRENT -WORKS.
In April 1972, Gordon Andreassend was sitting in his office in Murray Building when Hal Empson, the Cartographer strode in. “We’ve got a problem with the process camera” he said.
“Everything’s arrived, hasn’t it, what’s the problem?” was Gordon’s reply.
It appeared there seemed no way to get the solid metal base of the camera, weighing about one ton, and 20 foot in length, into its allocated space on top of the building. It was too big for any lift, and too heavy to manhandle up the stairs to the 25th floor.
Hi there,
For a story I'm writing (as an amateur), I'd like to know if a British citizen traveling to Hong Kong before 1997 could have his passport renewed there then ? (Without being a resident there, just passing by.)
I hope you'll be able to answer me,
Mike
My mother, 6 month old sister and grandmother moved to Mongkok in 1939 from Toishan. They fled back to their village in Jan 1942 shortly after the British surrender of the Battle of Hong Kong. Does anyone have any knowledge of what it would have been like, first hand or otherwise, to undertake this escape?

Apologies for duplicating this enquiry which I added to an existing DBS thread a week ago and have just corrected. It eluded David’s weekly summary last week and perhaps got buried, but now appears below this post. In the HK Daily Press article uploaded to Gwulo which describes the expedition of DBS boys through the Golden Hill Tunnel in 1926, https://gwulo.com/comment/58391#comment-58391 I was startled to see the name of my father, C.R. Warren given as one of the three masters who led the group.
