You recently spoke to my colleague, Julie Raines, about the book you are writing on Hong Kong. I understand that you wish to visit the Imperial Archives in Peking with a Chinese academic as a guide. You were asking if we could suggest a suitable contact for you.

I have spoken to the Great Britain China Centre about this and they believe they could make appropriate arrangements. I would suggest that you contact their Director, Ms Nicola McBean, to sort out the details. Her telephone number is 071 235 6696. The address is:

Great Britain China Centre 15 Belgrave Square

LONDON SW1X 8PG

I have also informed our Embassy in Peking of your project, in case they can be of assistance. You may wish to let them know of any arrangements you make. The address is:

British Embassy 11 Guang Hua Lu Jian Guo Men Wai PEKING

Telephone: 861 5321961/5

I hope this proves helpful.
