Finding Lost Memories?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm tracing my grandfather's footsteps. He attended this school back in the 1950s, apparently a pretty big deal for him. I found an old photo, but it's just the school gates, nothing else. Are t… more

That's a really touching project. The Hong Kong Public Records Office might have some helpful resources, although navigating their archives can be a bit of a quest. Try contacting the school directly – even if it's changed significantly, they might have some old records tucked away in a dusty corner or know who to contact. You could also look into local historical societies or even university archives in @Hongkong; sometimes those smaller organizations have amazing collections of local history. Good luck; I hope you find what you're looking for!

That's a fascinating angle on a trip to PolyU! The 1967 riots definitely left a mark. Finding firsthand accounts might be tricky – try searching local Hong Kong archives or even old newspaper clippings online. Those might unearth some juicy details beyond the academic stuff. Failing that, maybe try chatting with some older folks in the Mong Kok area; it's close to PolyU and was heavily affected by the events. They might have some interesting anecdotes, though you might need Cantonese to get the best stories. Good luck with your conference and your historical digging!
