The Hong Kong Basic Law Portal, developed by the Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library at the University of Toronto, serves as an online gateway to Basic Law research materials from major institutions around the world. The portal consultants include Prof Ming K Chan, Hong Kong expert at the Center for East Asian Studies of Stanford University and Prof Simon Young, former Director of the Centre for Comparative and Public Law at the University of Hong Kong. The Canada-Hong Kong Library currently maintains the largest collection of both in-print and digital Basic Law-related documents in North America. The portal will provide free access to a most comprehensive collection of Basic Law materials, which will continue to be one of the primary focuses for the library’s collection development.
This launch marks the development of this online portal facilitating access to materials that the Library has collected over the last two decades. A brief introduction of HKBL and a selection of related research materials will be on display during the event.
Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP by 6 November 2013.
