| History is a witness of culture, telling us stories of past successes and failures for our reflection. In order to acknowledge the good work of our predecessors, the Board of the Kuk began to arrange the historical records in a systematic way in 1979 and to store them in special cabinets since 1980. Allocated with a room on the first floor of the Welfare Building (Dedicated as the Vicwood K.T. Chong Building in March 1996) for this very purpose, the Archives was officially opened on 8th March 1984. With further allocation of the adjacent room in the following year, the Archives was on its way to active mending of old files and conservation of treated documents by categorized storage. Proposed relocation of the archives to the Kuk's Main Building to allow exhibits of historical records and collections reflecting on the Kuk's evolution throughout the century found green light in 1996. On completion of fitting out of the exhibition halls, the Archives was officially opened by the Hon. Elsie Leung , JP, Secretary for Justice, on 19th January 1998. The Po Leung Kuk Archives has since been opened to the public. |  |
