“Tung Wah Archives and Early Overseas Chinese” Roving Exhibitions
Hong Kong's longest standing charitable organisation, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) maintains a rich collection of historical records. The comprehensive and organized records do not only shed light on various aspects of early Hong Kong society, but also help reconstruct the path of Hong Kong's development at different times in history. In particular, the Tung Wah Coffin Home Archives are unique cultural heritage of Hong Kong. They document the bone repatriation services provided by Tung Wah to Chinese people who passed away in Hong Kong or abroad from the late 19th to mid-20th century, and are important archives for the research on Hong Kong's role in a global Chinese philanthropic network.
