In addition, expeditions were made to other areas to photograph buildings of particular interest which were soon to be demolished. The photographs taken so far have been sorted and catalogued largely by Mrs. J. Edmunds, for whose assistance in this work the Council is very grateful. The exhibition of photographs mounted at the last Annual General Meeting was afterwards shown at the British Council and again at the Library of the University of Hong Kong, where it attracted considerable public interest. Encouraged by this, the Council has been considering the publication of a volume of photographs selected from those taken in the course of the Survey so far, for sale to members and the public. It has been proposed that the publication should illustrate the history and character of the district both by photographs and in text. If successful, the volume might form the first of a series. Participation of members of the Society in this work of the Survey, either as photographers or cataloguers, would be very welcome, and anybody who is interested should contact the Secretary, Mr. Ian Diamond—why not tonight? Acknowledgements In closing, I would like to acknowledge with many thanks the voluntary help we have received from sources outside the Council. Mrs. Edmunds with the Photographic Survey, Michael Smithies with overseas visits, Mr. Westcott of the British Council for his continuing help with some of our office problems, Mr. Tao Ho for organizing our last symposium, our auditors, Messrs Wong, Tan & Co., and finally, Sir Lindsay Ride, who as a member of the Hong Kong Club has continued to act as our sponsor for booking accommodation for lectures, this meeting, and for the dinner to which we will soon thankfully proceed.

It seems unlikely that a visit can be arranged before early 1979. Meanwhile interested members can visit Kwangchow and/or Kweilin by joining the regular tours offered by major travel agencies in Hong Kong. Publications During the year the Journals for both 1975 and '76 were published and distributed, and Dr. Hayes, our editor, has already assembled most of the material for the 1977 Journal. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Hayes as our editor. Editing requires a great deal of time and work and despite his own heavy responsibilities as Town Manager for Tsuen Wan he has continued to work to bring our Journals up to time on publication. This has been no mean effort. I would also like to take this opportunity of congratulating Dr. Hayes on the publication of his own book based on his Ph.D. thesis and entitled The Hong Kong Region, 1850-1911: Institutions and Leadership in Town and Countryside, The Photographic Survey Work is also continuing on our intended publication of a book of annotated photographs of Hong Kong, in connexion with the Photographic Survey project of the Society. For the benefit of our more recent members, this survey was started in 1974 with the object of making a photographic record of Hong Kong as it appears today and before all the older buildings disappear beneath the swell of redevelopment. This record includes not only buildings but also street scenes and shots of such everyday sights—but for how long one cannot say—as hawkers' stalls, small workshops, fortune-tellers' booths. Such things have of course been photographed before, but rarely with full documentation of date or place. Work on the Survey has been greatly delayed since the departure in 1976 of Mrs. Edmunds who was responsible for organizing the files of prints and negatives. We have been fortunate, however, in finding two new volunteers to take over: Mrs. Mona Davies and Mrs. Maurisette Mellor, to both of whom I take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude. The collection is now taking shape. Nine schedules have ================================================================================
