The Antiquities and Monuments Office

The Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance was enforced in 1976 to ensure that the best examples of Hong Kong's monuments are under appropriate protection. In the same year, the Antiquities Advisory Board (AAB) and the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) were established. The AMO, which provides secretarial and executive support to AAB in conserving places of historic and archaeological interest, is the executive arm of the Antiquities Authority.

The office is developed in two units - Heritage Conversation unit and Technical and Advisory unit. The main roles are as follow:

Identifying, recording and researching on buildings and items of historic interest and significance;
Organising and co-ordinating surveys and excavations of areas of archaeological significance;
Maintaining and developing archives of written and photographic materials relating to heritage sites;
Organising the protection, restoration and maintenance of monuments;
Assessing and evaluating the impact of development projects on heritage sites, as well as carrying out appropriate mitigation measures;
Arranging adaptive reuse of suitable historic buildings;
Fostering public awareness of Hong Kong's heritage through education and publicity programmes such as exhibitions, lectures, tours, workshops and setting up of heritage trails, etc.;
Managing two visitor centres and about 40 historic buildings for public viewing;
Establishing 3D survey records for declared monuments and graded historic buildings under the AMO’s management; and
Providing secretarial support to the AAB.
