Swire Archives

Swire Archives

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.

Located in Taikoo Place, the site of the former Taikoo Sugar Refinery, the Swire Archive Centre consists of an environmentally-controlled repository, an innovative exhibition setup as well as a multipurpose engagement space.

Research & Enquiries

Swire Archives is a private business archive which is tasked to provide archives services to Swire Group’s operating companies. Nevertheless, we also acknowledge the value of our archives to the wider community. The collections are therefore made available to external researchers with a bona fide research interest..

For any research that is related to Swire, please contact Swire Archives directly and provide details of your area of study and interest, including research purpose, scope of research (e.g. period of time), etc. Swire Archives may arrange a research visit if relevant materials are identified and are available for access.

Guided Tours

The Swire Archive Centre includes an engagement space, featuring rich exhibitions, archives and some digital interactive devices.
