CUHK Press Release
The CUHK Press Releases document various significant events at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), including academic conferences, dean appointments, scholarship distributions, and building inaugurations. These records chronicle the historical development of CUHK and hold substantial value as historical documentation. Therefore, conducting data analysis and organization of these press releases to create a comprehensive search platform is valuable for both academic researchers and the public interested in CUHK’s history.
A comprehensive Searching Platform for CUHK Press Releases
To this end, this project aims to establish a comprehensive search platform for CUHK Press Releases. Users can search for specific press releases using keywords, dates, or tags, and categorize events within a designated period to observe their proportion over time.
The CUHK Library’s data collection includes Press Releases from 1983 to 2006, divided into two periods: 1983–1997 and 1998–2006. The press releases from 1983–1997 are often vertically printed or handwritten, posing significant challenges for data visualization. Thus, this project will focus on the 1983–1997 press releases for data analysis.
