Funding History of Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront, Urban Development and Collective Memory of Common PeopleGrant Awarding Body:The Lord Wilson Heritage TrustAmount Awarded:HK$99,500Status:CompletedFunding 'One Belt, One River': Maritime and Inland River Trade in Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces (1897–1926) = 一帶一河: 廣東及廣西兩省海洋及內河貿易This proposed project will address the conflict and cooperation between two aspects of private Chinese maritime trade on the coasts and inland rivers of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces: customs clearance and the registration of steamships under the treaty port and modern maritime customs systems; and vague regulations and flexible business models for Chinese junks and steam launches under the triple maritime zones (foreign colonies, treaty ports and non-treaty ports) and dual maritime customs system (foreign customs, native customs and likin administration).
The proposed project will investigate the trade routes and business models of Chinese junks and steam launches across the porous Hong Kong–China border and the network of treaty and non-treaty ports on the Pearl River, and their significance to maritime trade and the efforts of Chinese players to defend domestic trade by including the Chinese local governments and private Chinese traders in the late Qing and early Republican periods.Grant Awarding Body:Research Grants CouncilAmount Awarded:$417,626Status:CompletedFunding 尖沙咀海濱歷史、城市發展及大眾集體回憶Grant Awarding Body:The Lord Wilson Heritage TrustAmount Awarded:HKD 99,500Status:CompletedFunding 香港當年今日本研究計劃將包括兩個主要部分︰第一,「香港歷史大事年表」;第二,「香港當年今日」。前者由研究員以年份為緯(1841年至2017年),按反映每一年重要的政治、經濟、軍事、社會或文化發展方向為選取原則,撰寫該年發生的重要事件;後者由研究員以政治、經濟、社會、文化、歷史人物五個方面為研究範疇,特別選取與上述方面反映特定時代重要發展或對今日香港有重要影響或意義的事件或人物,並以全年366日為單位,從第一手史料(報紙、政府檔案、日記、回憶錄等),考證事件準確的發生日子。研究員將根據以下兩個標準選擇重要的事件或人物生平進行研究撰述︰(1) 反映所述時代重要的政治、經濟、軍事、社會或文化的面貌發展;(2) 該事件/人物對後來尤其是今日香港的發展仍有重要的影響或留下清晰的歷史足印。 本研究計劃冀令未來參觀「香港故事」展覽的人士或《香港當年今日》(暫名)出版物(如有)的讀者,能夠對原本與自己沒有密切關係的香港史事產生連繫,從而產生認識以至研究的興趣。此外,本研究計劃除了在特定的篇幅撰寫所選取事件或人物的基本歷史資料外,亦會在適當的情況下直接引用當事人的說話或當時報紙報導或政府檔案的原文,以第一身的手法直接交代歷史,使內容更形客觀,並使參觀者對歷史產生親切感,尤如與歷史當事人直接對話。Grant Awarding Body:香港歷史博物館Amount Awarded:HK$270,000Status:Completed
