《香港歷史學堂系列》
第一堂
太古洋行與香港
畢可思教授
第三節
戰後太古洋行的發展
太古這間原本在英國利物浦不見經傳的貿易船運公司,何以會來到中國、最後在香港落地生根、並成為叱咤風雲的龍頭企業?這一堂,畢可思教授為我們回顧這間英資大行的發展軌跡。這是一個企業的歷史,更是香港全球化的歷史。

Lecture 1
Swire and Hong Kong
Prof. Robert Bickers
Session three:
Swire after the War
How did Swire, once a modest trading and shipping company from Liverpool, find its way to China and transform into one of Hong Kong’s most influential enterprises? In this lecture, Prof. Robert Bickers will bring to life the remarkable journey of Swire’s expansion. This is not only the story of a British firm, but also a window into the global history of Hong Kong.

Building on the success of our 2024 interview series Hong Kong Documented, the Hong Kong History Centre proudly presents a new online lecture series — the Hong Kong History Academy. This series features eight lectures, each comprising three sessions. In every lecture, a distinguished historian explores a significant theme in Hong Kong’s history, covering topics such as British firm, drug control, nationality, refugees, popular culture, land use, aviation, and animal rights. These monthly lectures aim to deepen our understanding of Hong Kong’s rich and complex past.
