MHHK Project, Summer 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with the MITACS scheme, the University of Prince Edward Island is advertising two 12-week summer internships for students to work on the Mapping Historical Hong Kong spatial history project during Summer 2026. Students must be in the later three years of their undergraduate programmes, or enrolled joint undergraduate-to-masters programmes (please see eligibility requirements<\/a> for further details). MITACS will provide successful applicants with funding for airfare, transportation, and accommodation, as well as a stipend for food and incidentals, any associated enrollment fees with UPEI, and a health insurance policy for the duration of their stay. Interested students must submit their applications by 17 September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are due on\u00a017 September<\/strong> 2025. It is relatively easy to apply, but it does require two letters of reference to be sent directly to the program by\u00a024 September<\/strong>. To apply students should go to the Globalink website (below) and click \u201cApply Now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mapping Historic Hong Kong<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mapping Historic Hong Kong (MHHK) is a pilot initiative that uses mapping software to archive and visualise data regarding Hong Kong\u2019s colonial development (1841-1997); and to make such information accessible to both a public audience and academic researchers through the creation of an open-access online mapping platform that allows users to explore Hong Kong\u2019s growth and uncover a range of information about its urban development. The MHHK project’s overarching goal is to use digital mapping to develop an open-access online platform that spatially organises archival records, historical data, and visual materials related to Hong Kong\u2019s colonial development between 1841 and 1997. Under this directive, the MHHK project has two primary objectives: I. To address the challenges of changing archival access and historical narratives about Hong Kong\u2019s colonial past through spatially organised archival data and visual storytelling. II. To use the digital medium of mapping to cultivate a renewed interest in the relationship between history, space, and place. The project uses the QGIS platform to build a suite of georeferenced maps from primary source materials to visualize Hong Kong\u2019s historic development. These maps integrate archival materials from the Hong Kong History Centre\u2019s forthcoming Historical Photographs project and archives, the Richard Charles Lee Canada Hong Kong Library, and spatial data from the Hong Kong Public Records Office\u2019s Land Registry. Affiliated with the Hong Kong Spatial Data Project, MHHK is part of a new effort to explore how digital mapping tools and new technologies can be integrated with historical research to encourage urban heritage and an appreciation for histories of urban space and\/or place, while benefiting both academic researchers and the wider public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
