HKFP Lens: HKU shares 3,000 images of colonial Hong Kong from the Frank Fischbeck collection

In September, the University of Hong Kong acquired photos from photojournalist Frank Fischbeck documenting the evolution of colonial Hong Kong over the past century.

The images trace the city’s development from the days of rickshaws, through the Japanese Occupation, to the eve of the 1997 handover. 3,000 photographs are available for public viewing on the university’s virtual exhibition.
