We also welcome donation of “Contents”. We understand some collectibles or materials would have special meaning to the owner or as Lingnanians.

ASC staff would liaise with the donors concerned for details.

    • Donor (or his/her designate / representative)

  2. Arrangement and Description
    Accepted materials would be further appraised and arranged by the Archives and Special Collections Team. Descriptive Cataloging record / Finding Aids would be created, addressing the content and historical scope of the materials and a description of how the collection is arranged.

Lingnan Archives has digitized the printed copies in our holdings and put them available online. But there are few gaps for which we need replacements.
Missing issues: 1-30, 32, 48, 102, 108-112
If you have these listed volumes, would you be interested to donate / borrow us the copy?
