I’ve been recently clearing out the study of late friend and historian Dr Dan Waters, and have come across around 10-20 house magazines published by the Hilton and the Peninsula hotels in the 1980s.

Thanks, Annemarie
I’ve been recently clearing out the study of late friend and historian Dr Dan Waters, so for someone also interested and working in Hong Kong history, it’s a treasure trove of books and newspaper articles.

Over the past few years I have been taking part in a project on the history of the Hong Kong Judiciary from 1841 to the present, which we hope will result in the publication of a book in the next year or so. Now that the documentary research is nearly complete, we are looking for historical photographs and other images to use as illustrations.
Cinemas in Hong Kong come and go to keep pace with the ever changing urban landscape, viewer choice and technology. Some operated for decades, while others for a few years or only a few months, some demolished and new one built, some with dozen seats while some have 2,000 seats, some renovated and re-named. Everyone of them generated warm memories to be cherished by their patrons.
