Mission & Structure
Mission
Hong Kong Chronicles Institute inherits the time-honoured Chinese tradition of compiling local chronicles by taking up the historic mission of producing the first-ever Hong Kong Chronicles. The book series serves as a comprehensive, systematic and objective record of Hong Kong’s past, detailing its natural environment, politics, economy, society, culture and people. In recording Hong Kong’s progress over time, Hong Kong Chronicles serves the important functions of preserving history, shedding light on policymaking, and educating the people. The first round of the project commenced in 2019 for completion by 2027.
Logo
The root form depicted in our logo symbolises an origin and a history which Hong Kong Chronicles seeks to uncover and promote for the people of Hong Kong. These roots represent a foundation upon which a tree is nourished and nurtured as in our mission of preserving and promoting history through local chronicles and supporting Hong Kong’s continued development. The logo design derives from a traditional stamp mark and employs the Chinese characters of “Hong Kong” written in root form to highlight Chinese culture and the authoritative nature of local chronicles.
