The Elsie Tu Papers provide a broad overview of Dr. Elsie Tu’s fifty-years of political and social activism in Hong Kong. The records give ample information on her work for the underprivileged and her role as a councillor in the Urban Council and Legislative Council. The overall arrangement of the collection was provided by the archivist while most of the folder titles were provided by Dr. Tu. Oversize materials including two posters and a group photograph of the Association for the Promotion of Public Justice as well as two photo albums and some photographs were pulled from their original folders and boxes and put in the OS File and PHOTO File. Duplicates were not included in the collection and returned to Dr. Tu. (English)

Dr. Elsie Tu’s work, political views and achievements are documented in her manuscripts and correspondence with various political figures and government officials of both Hong Kong and British governments. For instance, her correspondence with former Governors, Lord Murrary MacLehose and Mr. Christopher Patten as well as British government officials, reveals her opinions and ideas on the colonial rule and political reforms in Hong Kong. In addition, the rich manuscripts and clippings from Hong Kong and British newspapers also record many significant political and social events in Hong Kong. Some examples are Star Ferry fare increase and Kowloon riots in 1966, 1967 and 1984, establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in 1974 and police amnesty in 1977.
