Publications
The Society being dedicated to the extension of knowledge in its chosen field of enquiry, each member of the RASHKB receives a copy of the annual Journal of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. Long established as a reputable academic publication, written by experts in their field, its editors strive to maintain and enhance its status. We have issued annual volumes since 1960 and published special volumes and several volumes of Symposia. These deal with varied local subjects including historical buildings, social organizations, popular beliefs, vegetation, fauna and change and development. Recent articles include those on Nga Tsin Wai village, Shanghai’s Longhua Temple, the Chinese Labour Corps in France 1917–1921, the Lugard Tribute and Tea and Opium.

Sir Lindsay and Lady Ride Memorial Fund
The Sir Lindsay and Lady Ride Memorial Fund was established in 2003 and named after the long-serving Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong and his wife, both founder members of the Society. It was given a generous initial donation by the Trustees of the late Sir Douglas Clague.
The Fund aims to subsidise the publication of significant scholarly and academic works on Hong Kong history, society and culture which would otherwise not be commercially viable. These are published under the joint imprint of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and Hong Kong University Press.
The first book in the "Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Studies Series" was published in 2005: Fung Chi Ming's Reluctant Heroes: Rickshaw Pullers in Hong Kong and Canton, 1874-1954.
The Fund also provides limited financial assistance to independent scholars for research projects which fall within the Society’s range of key interests.
Applications or donations may be addressed to The Convenor, Sir Lindsay and Lady Ride Memorial Fund, Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch, G.P.O. Box 3864, Hong Kong, for consideration by the Trustees.
