The Swire Group’s archives, maintained in London and Hong Kong, are the repository of the historic group’s collective corporate memories. They tell the Swire story all the way from the mid-19th century to the present day.
Recording more than 150 years of development in Hong Kong, they provide a valuable historical resource for staff, academics and the wider community.
In Hong Kong, the collection is managed by a team of professionally trained in-house archivists. They comprise a diverse collection of historical records and artefacts from the group’s operating companies, including John Swire & Sons, Swire Pacific, Swire Properties, Swire Coca-Cola, Taikoo Sugar, Cathay Pacific Airways, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering (HAECO) and the China Navigation Company.
Through a range of media, including paper, photographic prints, films, audio tapes, microfilms and digital formats, the collection charts the group’s rich heritage. This includes in shipping, aviation, beverages, properties, as well as trading, industrial and insurance activities.
The event is free of charge for Members.
