About Us

The Records and Heritage Office endeavours to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of TWGHs contributing towards preserving the heritage of Hong Kong and explore TWGHs past and future role in networking with Chinese communities worldwide by developing Tung Wah Museum and TWGHs Maisy Ho Archives and Relics Centre as significant resource centres in studying the history of Hong Kong, modern China, world Chinese and the world. Since the historical development of TWGHs is intertwined with the history of Hong Kong, the Office also takes a pioneering role in local heritage preservation and provides different kinds of cultural services.

Tung Wah Museum was originally the Main Hall of Kwong Wah Hospital in 1911 before being converted into a museum in 1970 to hold TWGHs archives and display many of the relics donated to and collected by the Group over the decades. It was declared as a monument by the Government in 2010 and now serves as the educational base to showcase TWGHs cultural heritage. TWGHs Maisy Ho Archives and Relics Centre was established in 2016 with the aim of collecting, arranging, conserving and preserving the Group’s archives and relics. The Repository is well-equipped with an archives room, relics room, conservation workshop, digitisation workshop and reading room.
