The Taiwan-Hong Kong International Studies Center of National Sun Yat-sen University was established in 2021 with the purpose of promoting the internationalization of Taiwan and Hong Kong international studies in Taiwan. In order to benefit the academic community to further promote related topics, the Center will launch the "Hong Kong Cultural Collection Project" to systematically preserve, display, and exchange academic resources related to Hong Kong studies. The goal of this project is to collect, organize and digitize Hong Kong’s valuable collection and preservation materials, covering areas ranging from daily life to political and economic aspects. It is hoped that the first complete collection outside Hong Kong can be collected and constructed through academic networks and public cooperation. Hong Kong Cultural Database. At the same time, this plan hopes to make the collection of cultural relics academic and popular. If resources permit, a set of data description vocabulary and collection data query and citation system will be established to facilitate the application of the research results of this project by the academic community and the public.
The types of cultural relics to be collected are any cultural relics, documents and audio-visual materials related to Hong Kong culture, including but not limited to the following types:

1. Publishing and printing (newspapers, books, maps, religious books, pamphlets, etc.)

4. Audio-visual records (daily audio-visual records, entertainment industry audio-visual records, field investigation audio-visual records, oral history interview records, etc.)
5. Anything else of cultural value (folk arts, etc.)

The scheme is tentatively scheduled to be implemented gradually over the next three years and will be divided into two main phases. The first stage is the collection and arrangement of cultural relics, and the second stage is the release, display and exchange of cultural relics. In terms of execution time, since it takes time to complete the data, it will be classified and collected according to the cultural field, hoping that the finishing process will be smoother; as for the actual execution time of the second stage, it needs to be based on the progress of the first stage, which has not yet been implemented. The sub-area collections are listed in the following order:
