The Lands department has recently upgraded its online Mapping Service system, significantly increasing the availability of products and services. Previously useful access to many of these products required a trip to the Mapping and Survey office in North Point or elsewhere. .  I have summarised a few of the most useful parts of the new service to people researching Hong Kong History below.

Hi all,

For years(actually from childhood) I can't help but notice that there is a lot of confusion on the geographic divisions of neighbourhoods in Hong Kong. The more research I did, the more I have found there has been a vast amount of manipulation from the Establishment (real estate developers, the government, the MTRC, etc.) on our perception of this space that we live in. It is chaotic and full of contradictions at the moment, and actions should taken to protect our heritage.

Maps of Hong Kong drawn in the late 1930s can be viewed here
