The Project

This is an archival research that draws on historical archives, official catalogues and archival data of other kinds. Unless otherwise specified, all images came from the items that I have collected. In particular, this research project aims to 

​

  • investigate how Hong Kong was represented at the BEE at Wembley in 1924 and 1925; 

  • examine the politics between Hong Kong and London, and between Hong Kong government and local British, European and Chinese merchants when organising Hong Kong Section at the BEE;  

  • examine the Hong Kong-Britain-China relations during the organisations of the pavilion; 

  • evaluate the impact of the BEE on the construction of an imperial identity among British and Chinese communities in Hong Kong; and 

  • digitalise artefacts into an online database.
