Dairy Farm Co Advertisments

Submitted by habaan on

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.

Pedder Building [1924- ]

Submitted by 80sKid on

Pedder Building (畢打行) was built in 1923 by the architectural firm of Palmer and Turner. In the pre-Second World War period, most tenants were foreign commercial firms with their headquarters or branches set up in Central. Most tenants evacuated before the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945), and consequently the Japanese and Chinese firms moved in. The building remained intact during the Occupation, and it has always functioned as a commercial building for shops and offices.
