IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS
April 2017
At the AGM in November 2016 it was agreed that we should trial hosting back issues
of journals alongside a computerised journal index on the website. For this trial
we have used an index covering Jns. 256 to 311 (Dec. 1985 to 1999) and currently 9½ years
of journals from this period has been put online.
The first prototype from the trial is available here
Journal Index and Archives
.
It was also agreed that access to contents
contained in the Journal Archives, Exhibits and Papers
sections of the website should be restricted to members only.
To achieve this a member’s login has
been introduced.
Members need to email webmaster@hongkongstudycircle.com to obtain their
login username and initial password.
