Hong Kong - Legco archivists say law must be enacted to preserve public documents | South China Morning Post

It would be easy to regard Sarah Choy Cheung-ching and Wan Wai-kwok as a pair of sophisticated paper pushers - they are Hong Kong's only two certified archivists. But their work takes in much more, of course, requiring both sleuthing and historical understanding.

Choy, who left the Government Records Service (GRS) after two decades to help set up the Legco Archives in 2012, is now the Legislative Council's chief archivist.

Yet such a career was never on the cards for Choy, who was about to start a doctoral programme in political science abroad when she returned to Hong Kong for a break. She wound up going for a job interview at the GRS, and has never looked back.

She still recalls her first assignment at the GRS: a request from a foreigner.
