Thank you! Yes we did but we mainly used them for the publications - but will definately include them in the map too (after securing the rights etc) - in fact, I am particularly interested in using the image of one item: collection.nam.ac.uk/detail.php?q...

Thanks for this; we have been trying to understand the command structure of the British coast artillery during the 1941 Battle of Hong Kong; they were organised into "East" and "West" Fire Commands: digital.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/1941hkbattle... (lots of coastal batteries in Hong Kong!)

The multiethnic Hong Kong delegation to the Victory Parade in London, 1946. I am very grateful that this photo became the cover of my book on the history of Hongkongers in the British armed forces during the colonial period from the 1860s to 1997. Link to book: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Wow, thanks a million for sharing this - always want to learn more about similar projects!

Thanks for the kind words!! We are covering other topics and periods using this method! And there are many stories on the map may interest you (choose the Faces of War layer).

Our latest Spatial History project on the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong (1941-1945) is now available. We aim to visualize various aspects of the occupation experience using a GIS-based interactive map. We hope this work can be useful for research, education, planning, and conservation.
