University Archives, CUHK: 大學檔案參與首屆香港圖書館節

今年十月下旬，香港公共圖書館舉辦首屆「香港圖書館節」，大學檔案也參與其中。

「香港圖書館節2019」以「閱讀・創意」為主題，既是閱讀可以啓發創意，亦是創意地閱讀。圖書館節透過不同形式的活動，例如展覽、講座、工作坊及音樂表演等，配合公共圖書館的「閱讀」、「知識」和「學習」平台，為公眾帶來更具創意、互動及不同深度、廣度的多元閱讀體驗。

在10月24至11月6日舉行的展覽活動中，大學檔案展出珍藏與公眾分享，包括1964年由新亞書院中文系主任潘重規老師撰寫的「博文約禮」校訓建議書、創校先賢簽名錦緞、歷任校長著作、第三任校長「光纖之父」高錕教授的授課手稿和諾貝爾獎章等；並播映校園發展地圖短片。參觀者更可透過掃描二維碼，閱讀部份大學刊物的內容，了解大學的發展歷史及認識對大學有重大貢獻的人物。周末時間，更有大學檔案職員臨場講解，與讀者分享每件展品背後的故事。

就著展覽，大學檔案特地設計兩款書籤，贈予參觀人士留為紀念。第一款正面為校訓「博文約禮」，另一面則為校訓建議書的節錄；第二款正面是大學展覽廳，背面則是瑞典皇家科學院致高錕教授的諾貝爾獎得獎通知函節錄及獎章影像。

Participation in the Inaugural Hong Kong Library Festival

The Hong Kong Public Libraries held the first Hong Kong Library Festival with the theme “Reading • Creativity” in 2019. To embrace reading, knowledge acquisition and learning, the program aimed at bringing diverse, interactive and enjoyable reading experience to the public. From October to November, various thematic activities such as exhibitions, talks and workshops were launched to promotes a citywide reading culture.

As one of the exhibitors, the University Archives carefully selected representative items from its unique and valuable collection and shared with the public. Displayed items included replicas of satin with signatures of founding faculty members; the Proposal of the University Motto 'Po Wen Yueh Li' (Through Learning and Temperance to Virtue), written by Mr. Pan Chung-kwei, then head of Department of Chinese Literature, New Asia College; publications of former Vice-chancellors; and, Nobel Prize medal and handwritten lecture notes of Professor Charles Kao, the third VC of the University. In addition, a short animation featuring campus development in the past 50 years was shown. Visitors might learn more about the university history and significant contributors through scanning QR codes and reading several university publications online.

Two types of bookmarks were prepared as souvenir for visitors. One was designed with University Motto and an image of the hand-written proposal. The other showed extract from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences’ notification letter to Prof. Charles Kao for awarding the Nobel Prize in Physics and an image of the prize medal.
