The HKCI is launching a mega project to compile over 60 volumes of Hong Kong chronicles,
totalling about 25 million words.
This project will have extensive coverage on the social, cultural and population history of Hong Kong.
It is scheduled for completion in eight years’ time (2019 – 2027), upon the 30th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China.
The HKIAPS has been commissioned by the Hong Kong Chronicles Institute to undertake the compilation work on the “Population” volume. This volume will be divided into six sections and will present the history of Hong Kong’s population chronologically from ancient time (about 7,000 years ago) to 2017. Archaeological findings will be used to illustrate the earliest ancestral traces of human settlement in Hong Kong. Historic records and official data are other major sources that shall be used to demonstrate Hong Kong’s transformation and development in different eras over time. 香港地方志中心正在進行一項《香港志》的巨大編修計劃，該計劃涵蓋整個社會的人、事和物，計劃將以八年時間（2019-2027），完成全套約2,500 萬字共60多卷的《香港志》。 香港亞太研究所獲香港地方志中心委托，負責編修「人口卷」。 此卷分為六個部份，將會上溯遠古時期（距今約七千年），下限定為香港回歸20週年之際，即2017年7月1日， 主要根據考古發現了解香港先民足跡，歷史記錄及官方數據則是香港不同時期轉變和發展的重要支撐。 ■ |
