A search engine was added to the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Archives website (http://archives.hkskh.org/index.aspx) since June 28. It enables researchers and other interested parties to download and access thousands of pages of documents on the regional history of the Anglican Church by simply inputting keywords in the search engine.

The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Archives was established in January 2010. The website showcases the archival holdings and present materials and photographs which are relevant to the history of Anglican Church. It includes, but is not limited to, the evangelization and tradition in Hong Kong, Macau and Greater China.

“We hope this website will be useful for church members and individual scholars, from Hong Kong, mainland China and around the world, and provide a better understanding of our life and mission,” said Dr Philip L. Wickeri, provincial archivist of the HKSKU in the introduction of the website.
