Please note the new url for the Historical Photographs of China (HPC) project: https://www.hpcbristol.net/. This site is copied over once a month to our mirror site, which is hosted in Shanghai: https://www.hpcbristol.sjtu.edu.cn/. The latter site includes pages in Chinese.

 

Among the over 21,000 images on the HPC site, there are currently nearly 900 of Hong Kong, in particular in the following collections:

Eleanor Mitchell Collection https://www.hpcbristol.net/collections/mitchell-eleanor

Henry Rue Collection https://www.hpcbristol.net/collections/rue-henry

Francis Davidson Collection https://www.hpcbristol.net/collections/davidson-francis

Martin Funnell Collection https://www.hpcbristol.net/collections/funnell-martin.

Also there are Hong Kong images in these albums or book:

More Hong Kong images are due to be added to the HPC site in 2020.
