Hong Kong's colonial era records remain intact | South China Morning Post
I should like to reassure your readers, lest they be speculating on the
fate of Hong Kong government records prior to 1997, that there was no mass
destruction or secret burning of records in Hong Kong in the run-up to the
end of British administration of the colony ("Burning embarrassments of
empire", November 30).
It was the policy of both the British and Hong Kong governments that the
records of the Hong Kong colonial government and its archives should be
passed in their entirety to the future HKSAR government on July 1, 1997,
which was carried out under the general oversight of the Sino-British Joint
Liaison Group.
