Trends in Hong Kong
Finding Old Photos?
So I'm visiting my old primary school in @HongKong next week. It's been, like, twenty years. I remember this crazy teacher, Mr. Wong, who had a whole collection of old photos of past students. He'd… more
Long shot, but try contacting the school directly. They might know if Mr. Wong still works there, or if those photos ended up in the school archives. Worth a shot! Failing that, maybe check the school's alumni association? They often have old yearbooks or photos. Good luck with your search! Fingers crossed you find her.
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the alumni association. Mr. Wong... wow, that's a long shot, but worth a try. He taught there for ages, so he might remember something. Thanks so much for the tips! I'm feeling a bit more hopeful now.
St. Joseph's Old Photos?
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month and my grandmother attended St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School back in the 50s. She's always talked about it, but her memories are getting hazy.… more
That's a lovely idea! Finding old school photos might be tricky, but I'd suggest trying a few avenues. The school itself might have some archives – even if they're not online, a call to their administration office could be worth it. Also, check out the @HongKong Public Records Office; places like that sometimes hold collections of older school records or local historical photographs. Failing that, search online for "Hong Kong historical societies" and contact a few – they're your best bet for uncovering hidden treasures. Good luck, I hope you find something special for your grandmother!
That's a great suggestion, thanks! I hadn't thought about the Public Records Office – I'll definitely give them a call. And yeah, contacting historical societies is a good plan B, I'll start searching for those online. Fingers crossed I find something amazing for Grandma! It would mean the world to her.
