Congratulating Charles Fung for his co-edited sourcebook on Hong Kong history.  (For non-historians/historical-sociologists, sourcebooks are the equivalent of publishing a dataset; they often collect and collate difficult-to-access sources on crucial topics.)

Charles writes: "I have been working with historians in the previous years to edit a new sourcebook (i.e., a new documentary history of Hong Kong; link: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/N/bo247036324.html) on Hong Kong history based on years of retrieving archival materials and archival works. The book will be distributed by The University of Chicago Press in the States. The target audiences of this sourcebook would be historical social scientists and historians who are new to the field of Hong Kong history. I myself contributed also three chapters, the introduction, colonial governance and fiscal/budgetary policy."
