Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch
Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch was founded in 1847, but ceased to exist at the end of 1859. Exactly a century later, on December 28, 1959, it was reborn with the approval of the parent society in London the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scholarly Societies Project )
The Society is open to all with an interest in the art, literature and culture of China and Asia, with special reference to Hong Kong. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch Website )
==History==
The Hong Kong Branch grew out of a Medico-Chirurgical Society founded in 1845, whose members established the Asiatic Society, based upon the structure of the Royal Asiatic Society in London. Sir John F. Davis, Governor of Hong Kong, was asked to be President, more for his interest and learning than for his office. The Society was made a Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, which Davis had helped to found. The Asiatic Society became the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society in January 1847.〔
Davis and his successor Sir John Bowring, also a scholar as well as Governor of Hong Kong, kept the Society active through their personal energy. Davis urged members to study practical projects and natural history, geology and botany, as well as to literary pursuits. Early officers of the Society included Thomas Wade, the interpreter and envoy to China, who later created the Wade system of romanization of Chinese. Governor George Bonham granted the Society use of a room in the Supreme Court building, but when Bowring left Hong Kong in May 1859 the Society collapsed. James Legge, as well and later Harry Parkes were not successful in their efforts to revive its activities.〔
The Hong Kong Branch was resuscitated a century later, in December 28, 1959.〔
