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.
