Jao Tsung-I Academy | Public lecture: Pre-war and Wartime heritages in Aerial Photos

Description

This lecture will use wartime aerial photographs, especially those captured the Lai Chi Kok district between 1920s to 1950s, as a case study to discuss the application of aerial imagery and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the research of built heritages. It will introduce the public to techniques such as "Georeferencing" which enhance our understanding of historical contexts of a certain period. This Lecture is funded by the "Built Heritage Conservation Fund" and serves as the one of the events under the "Using Wartime Aerial Photos in Built Heritage Conservation in Hong Kong" project.

Speaker: Prof. KWONG Chi Man (Professor, Chair, Department of History, Hong Kong Baptist University)
