The Hok Hoi Collection consists of some 34,600 volumes with over 1,900 titles of Chinese classics across the disciplines. They include works by famous Qing scholars like Chen Feng and Kang You-wei, and also valuable Kwang Dong editions of "13 Classics with Commentaries" and "Kwang Dong Tong Zhi". In addition to these rare books, the Hok Hoi Library published reference works such as catalogues as well as collections of lecture notes. A great deal of the collection is classical Chinese thread-sewn rare books with the most valuable ones being out-of-print books, manuscripts of Chinese classics, lecture notes and the Hok Hoi Collection catalogues. The books published by the Hok Hoi Library are also worth reading as they are of high academic standards. |

| Introduction: |
The Hok Hoi Library was founded in 1923 with its aims to promote and lecture on Chinese classics. As the Library had to move out from its original address of Central, all the books were removed to the City Hall Public Library in 1963 for long-term preservation. The collection was then transferred to the Hong Kong Central Reference Library in 2001 for public consultation in the library. Besides, readers can also make use of the Multimedia Information System to access the authorized digital materials from 2014 onwards. |
