About the event
In celebration of the University of Hong Kong Libraries’ 110th Anniversary, we proudly present one of our largest photographic collections — Frank Fischbeck Collection. It is comprised of around 24,000 historic images of Hong Kong, Asia, and other parts of the world. Acquired by the University Libraries in 2019 with funding from charitable foundations, the Frank Fischbeck Collection showcases a wide variety of photographic formats and a rich array of social topics with a large time span dating from 1860 to the early 2000s.
