About the Site

hkmaps.hk is created by the Spatial History Project, Department of History, Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the Government Records Service (GRS), Hong Kong Historic Maps, and Mapping Hong Kong History, and as part of the deliverables of the RGC-funded Hong Kong Historical Spatial Data Project (Scheme: RGC Research Impact Fund; Reference code: R2005-24).

It is a development of the Historic Map Hong Kong (launched in 2016) that is dedicated to the discovery and display of historic maps of Hong Kong. The Platform aims to provide a comprehensive reference for users seeking various kinds of historical spatial data concerning Hong Kong during the 19th and 20th centuries.

This project brings together historical archival records, artificial intelligence, and geospatial technologies. HKBU contributes the technical infrastructure, spatial-history framework, and HGIS development, while Government Records Service, as the central archives of the Government of the HKSAR, plays a key role as project partner in shaping the Platform’s content, archival foundation, and contextual interpretation.

Data Sources

The Platform’s major sources of information include:

  • Maps (19th and 20th centuries)
  • Land records (19th and 20th centuries)
  • Street Index
  • Aerial photographs (20th century)
  • Plans (20th century)
  • Charts (19th and 20th centuries)

A significant portion of the Platform’s core historical data is derived from the historical archival holdings of GRS, including land records such as House Registration Books, Japanese Property Registration Records as well as street indexes, maps and plans, etc.

Some maps of the platform were produced for the UK Government prior to June, 1997, and are covered by the terms of the UK Open Government Licence v3.0. Details of the use and limitations can be found on the Open Government Licence web site. For aerial photographs, those produced for the US Government after 50 years and accessible through the National Archives and Records Administration are open-source materials. Aerial photographs and street plans produced for the Hong Kong Government that are hosted in the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) are open-source materials. The Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science (LSGS) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University also contributed data for the project, such as the RRIM model based on the LiDAR data of the Hong Kong SAR Government.

Processing Historical Addresses

The platform also contains feature layers consisting of historical addresses from several major sources:

  • the 1938 Street Index (1)
  • the Japanese properties registration of 1942–1944 (2)

In both datasets, the street number, lot number, and building name are included, allowing us to construct a more complete list of addresses of Hong Kong from 1938 to 1945. As many street and lot numbers were reorganized after the war, while the street names remained the same, we can create a historical address converter that pinpoints historical addresses to their corresponding streets.

The research team established a workflow and platform to conduct Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for the 1938 Street Index. The special typesetting of the Street Index is first OCR-ed as plain text in the Department of History’s Steno OCR Platform, and finally checked manually using a specially designed programme that allows the human checker to quickly handle the Index's annotations and conventions.

The resulting dataset (in CSV format) is displayed in a web app that allows the user to search for historical addresses by entering street numbers, lot numbers, street names, and building names.

As a result of the OCR, the research team also obtained a list of all streets in Hong Kong in 1938 and geolocated them in GIS. An additional map is attached to the web app so that the location of the result (based on historical street names) is displayed. In the future, the exact locations of the lots can be shown on the map as the database of individual lot locations is built.

As an evolving digital resource, the Platform will continue to expand in scope, functionality, and data coverage. New datasets, improved geolocation, enhanced search functions, and additional interpretive layers will be progressively developed as the project advances.

關於本站

hkmaps.hk 由香港浸會大學歷史系空間史研究計劃、政府檔案處(GRS)、Hong Kong Historic Maps及Mapping Hong Kong History共同創建,為研究資助局(研資局)資助之「香港歷史空間數據項目」(計劃:研究影響基金;參考編號:R2005-24)的成果之一。

本平台是致力於發掘與展示香港歷史地圖的「Historic Map Hong Kong」(於2016年推出)的延伸發展。本平台旨在為尋找19至20世紀香港各類歷史空間數據的使用者提供全面的參考資料。

平台匯集了歷史檔案、人工智能與地理空間技術。浸大負責提供技術基礎設施、空間史框架,以及歷史地理資訊系統(HGIS)的開發;而政府檔案處作為香港特別行政區政府的中央檔案機構,以項目合作夥伴的關鍵身分,參與塑造本平台的內容、檔案基礎及語境詮釋。

數據來源

平台的主要資訊來源包括:

  • 地圖(19及20世紀)
  • 土地紀錄(19及20世紀)
  • 街道索引
  • 航空照片(20世紀)
  • 圖則(20世紀)
  • 航海圖(19及20世紀)

本平台大部分核心歷史數據源自政府檔案處的館藏歷史檔案,其中包括土地紀錄(如日據時期家屋登記、敵產台帳),以及街道索引、地圖與圖則等。

平台上部分地圖是於1997年6月之前為英國政府製作,受英國《開放政府特許條款3.0版》(UK Open Government Licence v3.0)約束。有關使用詳情與限制,可參閱開放政府特許條款網站。至於航空照片,為美國政府製作且年代超過50年、可透過美國國家檔案和記錄管理局(National Archives and Records Administration)獲取者,均屬開源資料。為香港政府製作且存於「空間數據共享平台」(CSDI)的航空照片及街道圖,同樣屬開源資料。香港理工大學土地測量及地理資訊學系(LSGS)亦為項目提供了數據,例如基於香港特別行政區政府 LiDAR 數據建立的 RRIM 模型。

處理歷史地址

本平台亦包含由數個主要來源的歷史地址組成的圖徵圖層(feature layers):

  • 1938年《街道索引》(1)
  • 1942至1944年的日本佔領當局的「家屋登記」資料(2)

該兩個數據集均包含門牌號碼、地段編號及建築物名稱,使我們能夠構建出一份更完整的1938至1945年香港地址列表。由於戰後許多街道的門牌與地段編號經過重組,而街道名稱則保持不變,因此我們可以建立一個歷史地址轉換器,將歷史地址精確定位至其對應街道上的位置。

研究團隊建立了一套工作流程與平台,為1938年《街道索引》進行光學文字辨識(OCR)。《街道索引》的特殊排版首先由歷史系的Steno平台進行OCR轉換為純文字,最後由人工使用專門設計的程式進行校對;該程式能讓校對人員快速處理索引中的註釋與慣例格式。

最終生成的數據集(CSV格式)展示於網頁應用程式中,使用者可透過輸入門牌號碼、地段編號、街道名稱及建築物名稱來搜尋歷史地址。

透過OCR的成果,研究團隊亦獲取了1938年香港所有街道的名單,並將其地理定位於地理資訊系統(GIS)中。該網頁應用程式附帶了一張額外的地圖,以便顯示搜尋結果的位置(基於歷史街道名稱)。未來,隨著個別地段位置數據庫的建立,地段的準確位置將可顯示於地圖上。

作為一項持續發展的數碼資源,本平台的範圍、功能與數據涵蓋面將會不斷擴展。隨着項目推進,我們將逐步開發新的數據集、改良地理定位、強化搜尋功能,並加入更多的詮釋圖層。

Instructions

The Platform consists of three major parts:

1. Map Overlays (Top Left Corner)

The Map Overlays are organised into “Aerials,” “Maps,” “Plans,” “Charts,” “Base,” and “Overlay” and contain georeferenced historical overlays that can be displayed. Users can select multiple overlays and adjust their opacity and display order in order to effectively compare with each other.

  • Aerials: Historical aerial photos from 1924 to 1982; among these overlays, some of them are AI coloured and are marked with “AI”.
  • Maps: Historical maps from the 18th century to the 1980s. These maps are smaller scale maps of 1:5,000 or above.
  • Plans: Historical street plans created by the Hong Kong Government before 1997. They usually come in 1:600 and 1:1,200.
  • Charts: Historical navigation charts, they contain detailed information concerning the waterways of Hong Kong.
  • Base: Various base maps from Google, Lands Department, OpenStreetMap, and Esri. Some of them are in 3D.
  • Overlay: Consists of historical coastlines, street names, tracks, current land lots, and other features.

2. Historical Data (Top Right Corner)

One search finds current places, historical records and land lots together. Matching places and lot boundaries appear on the map. Choosing a result keeps the list open and shows a compact popup; the chosen place or lot is highlighted in gold. Choose Directions in the popup to plan a route and add stops later. Filters let you choose historical datasets and control result labels. Closing Search clears its temporary place pins and lot highlights.

The locations of the datasets are based on the cross-reading of historical street indexes, street plans, and other historical sources.
