英國國家檔案館藏中大檔案 CUHK Records in The National Archives (TNA) of the United Kingdom

大學檔案組除了從中大各單位搜求檔案，亦會在校外徵集或購入中大相關文獻，以增補館藏，為研究者帶來便利。由於香港曾爲英國之殖民地，許多香港事務的檔案可以在英國國家檔案館中找到，當中包括不少有關中大成立和發展的檔案。大學檔案組目前已從該館購入與中大相關的檔案三十餘個，時間跨度為1950年代至1980年代，主要來自兩個檔案類別：
•    BW 90: 海外高等教育大學校際委員會：書信及公文
•    CO 1045: 殖民地部及其他部門：教育顧問郭克時爵士公文
内容相當豐富，例如：五、六十年代香港專上學院的發展、中文大學的籌備過程、香港大學在中大發展的角色、首任校長的遴選和候選人名單、中大醫學院成立之背景等（詳細内容請看下表）。這些中大檔案連同其他從英國國家檔案館購入的香港事務檔案，可以透過大學圖書館網頁的「數碼館藏」，在校内瀏覽。
大學檔案組會繼續留意英國國家檔案館和其他單位收藏的中大相關文獻，如檔案已經公開，我們會盡量收錄。

In addition to collecting records from the University offices, CUHK Archives also collects and purchases CUHK-related records beyond the campus in order to fill the gap of our collections and bring convenience to researchers. Since Hong Kong was once a British colony, many records of Hong Kong affairs can be found in The National Archives (TNA) of the United Kingdom, including documents about the establishment and development of CUHK. CUHK Archives has purchased over 30 records from TNA. The time span of the archives is from 1950s to 1980s, and most of the items are from these two record series:
•   BW 90: Inter-University Council for Higher Education Overseas: Correspondence and Papers.
•  CO 1045: Colonial Office and other departments: Papers of Sir Christopher Cox, Educational Adviser.
The content includes: the development of the Hong Kong post-secondary education in 1950s to 1960s, the establishment of CUHK, the role of the University of Hong Kong in CUHK development, selection and appointment of the first Vice-Chancellor (with the list of candidates), the background of setup of the CUHK medical school, etc (please check the table below for details). With other records of Hong Kong affairs purchased from TNA, these records are now uploaded to the “Digital Collection” on CUHK Library’s website for on-campus access.
CUHK Archives will keep an eye on any CUHK-related records kept by TNA and other units. We will try our best to collect as many open records as possible.
