The Hong Kong Archives Society plans to organise a series of seminars for its members and the general public who are interested in knowing more about different aspects of archival management and hear from experienced professionals in the field.

 

Our goals are to promote:
  • Cultural knowledge keeping
  • Appropriate organization of knowledge records
  • Effective access to knowledge records
  • Dissemination and preservation of intangible heritage


The first three seminars were held between April and September. The 4th seminar, a workshop on digitisation, will be presented in December.
