The Swire Group’s archives, maintained in London and Hong Kong, are the repository of our collective corporate memories, telling the Swire story all the way from the mid-19th century to the present day. Recording more than 150 years of development in Hong Kong, they provide a valuable historical resource for staff, academics, and the wider community. In Hong Kong, the collection is managed by a team of professionally trained in-house archivists and comprises a diverse collection of historical records and artefacts from our operating companies, including John Swire & Sons (H.K.), Swire Pacific, Swire Properties, Swire Coca-Cola, Taikoo Sugar, Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company ("HAECO") and The China Navigation Company ("CNCo"). Through a wide range of media – including paper, photographic prints, films, audio tapes, microfilms, and a range of digital formats – the collection charts the Group’s rich heritage in various sectors, including shipping, aviation, beverages, properties, as well as trading and industrial and insurance activities.
