Handover Ceremony of the Deacons permanent loan collection
The handover ceremony of Deacons permanent loan collection will be held on April 3 (Thursday).  The donation contains the bulk of the early surviving records of Deacons and its predecessors, including client files, deeds and papers, legal documents, accounting records, letter books, photographs, etc. The date range of the collection is from 1848 to 2007.

The highlight of the collection is mainly the relevance and value to academic researchers and historians in respect of the economic and business history of Hong Kong and also historians and writers researching a particular person such as Sir Paul Chater who founded Hong Kong Land and undertook the first major Land Reclamation project in Hong Kong.

There are several volumes of documents related to Chater business transactions which relate to his deceased estate. Copies of this material were sent to the Chater family's own historian, Liz Chater, who authorized the donation of the Chater related materials in the Deacons archive to HKU.  These will be very valuable additions to material the HKU Library already has on Sir Paul Chater, including his own personal library which is housed in a special room in the HKU Library.

Deacons senior partners Ms. Lilian Chiang and Mr. Joseph Kwan  (Partner &  Head of Litigation & Dispute Resolution) will attend and Ms. Chiang will give a short speech.

Media and press members are cordially invited to attend.

香港大學美術博物館《邪惡下倖存：阿玆曼畫語》展覽
香港猶太大屠殺及寬容中心、香港大學美術博物館與香港歌徳學院聯合主辦薩拉•阿玆曼在香港的重點展覽―《邪惡下倖存：阿玆曼畫語》。

薩拉•阿玆曼生於匈牙利，現居以色列，是猶太人大屠殺中的倖存者。其作品多為大型畫作，同時還反映她對當年大屠殺的恐怖回憶。1944年，阿玆曼先被驅逐至奧斯威辛集中營，之後才輾轉在伯根•貝爾森集中營渡過艱苦的歲月。

成年以後的阿玆曼，便成為一名出色的畫家。因其戲劇化和鮮明的畫風，而喚起世人對這段殘酷歷史的關注，由此亦教育年輕一代學會珍惜與包容，即便種族之間承載著相異的文化和宗教背景，仍能培養出相互謙讓慈憫的精神。

展出日期:  2014年2月26日至2014年5月4日
開放時間:  星期一至星期六，上午9時30分至下午6時；星期日，下午1時至6時。大學及公眾假期休息。
