大學檔案數碼資料庫啓用 Launch of the University Archives Digital Collection

為推廣中大檔案文獻的使用,大學檔案組剛啓用「大學檔案數碼資料庫」,供各界人士瀏覽。本資料庫收錄中大的出版物包括歷史檔案的掃描文本,及以數碼方式製作的出版物或網頁資料,以PDF格式保存,並支援全文檢索。目前收錄資料包括:
  • 校園發展計劃——《香港中文大學校園發展計劃初步報告》(1964)˴《香港中文大學校園發展計劃報告書概要》(2009)及《香港中文大學校園發展計劃報告》(2010)。
  • 新聞稿——1983˴1984˴1987-1997
本資料庫籌備多月,因檔案數碼化需要經過多重工序:從徵集檔案˴檢測˴修復˴掃描˴資料輸入˴圖檔品質檢驗˴文字辨識質素檢驗˴校正˴到上載至伺服器等,才可將成果呈現到大家眼前。檔案庫將不斷新增藏品,敬請密切留意。

The University Archives Digital Collection was launched recently to promote the use of the historical records of the Chinese University. The Collection aims to provide online access to periodicals and other materials published at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It includes scanned copies of historical documents and born digital publications or web content. Files are in PDF format and full-text search function is available. Currently available titles are:

  • Campus development plans – Chinese University of Hong Kong Development Plan Preliminary Report (1964), The Chinese University of Hong Kong Campus Master Plan Synoptic Report (2009), and The Chinese University of Hong Kong Campus Master Plan Final Report (2010)
  • Press Releases – 1983,1984,1987-1997
This Collection has been prepared for months since the digitization works usually have to go through processes like document collection, preservation, scanning, data entry, image quality checking, OCR quality checking, correction, and uploading, etc. This is a growing collection so please pay close attention to the website.

大學檔案的研究支援服務 University Archives’ Research Support Service

大學檔案除了致力蒐集、整理、維護具永久保留價值的中大檔案,更有一重要任務——推廣中大檔案的使用,支援校内外單位與個人的教學、研究、出版、甚至影視製作等工作。  

例如最近由中大新亞書院、藝術系、藝術系系友會出版的《趙鶴琴》一書,介紹這位在中大任教多年的著名篆刻書畫家生平,並選刊其印章作品、文章及講義等,為研究趙氏藝術成就的重要參考著作。《趙》書編輯小組得知中大校長鈐章為趙先生所刻(連結),於是聯絡大學檔案搜集相關資料,而大學檔案亦積極協助,終尋得藏於中大傳訊及公共關係處的「香港中文大學校長之章篆刻設計書」(1964),另有趙鶴琴書中大校訓「博文約禮」式樣 (1964) 及趙鶴琴潤例 (1959, 1963, 1968) 等,收錄《趙》書中。  

如閣下需要大學檔案的研究支援,歡迎聯絡我們

In addition to collect, organize and preserve CUHK records that have enduring value, the University Archives also strives to promote the use of the historical records by supporting teaching, research, publishing, and audio-visual production activities of the University community and external users.  

For instance, Chao Ho-chin, a book recently published by CUHK’s New Asia College, Department of Fine Arts, and the Alumni Association of Fine Arts Department, which introduces the life of the famous seal carving artist and painter who had taught in CUHK for years. The book collects Mr. Chao’s seal carving works and reprints his articles and lecture notes, etc. The editorial team of the book had contacted the University Archives for collecting relevant information of one of the Mr. Chao’s work – the CUHK Vice-Chancellor’s Seal (link). With help of the University Archives, the preliminary proposal of the seal (1964), the calligraphy of CUHK motto – “Bo Wen Yue Li” written by Mr. Chao (1964), as well as the price list (1959, 1963, 1968) were found in the Communications and Public Relations Office of the University. The images of the above-mentioned items were presented in the book.

If you have research enquiries relating to the history of CUHK, please feel free to contact us.
