Government Records Service

The Government Records Service (GRS) manages government records and provides a full range of records and archival management services.

The GRS develops and oversees the implementation of the government records management system. It operates two Records Centres as central repositories for storage of inactive government records. In light of the growing demand for electronic records management, a new office was established in October 2003 in support of new government initiatives and practices in this area.

The GRS also contributes to the protection of Hong Kong's archival heritage through proper preservation and conservation of government archival holdings. Its microfilm centre, being an ISO 9001:2000 certified unit, provides microfilm services for government agencies to an international standard.

In maintaining one of the largest local sources of information for historical and other studies relating to Hong Kong, the GRS appraises and acquires records of enduring value from government and private sources and makes them available for public access through its Central Preservation Library for Government Publications and online services. A wealth of archival records is kept, including government publications, reports, newspapers, printed materials and monographs on Hong Kong. Members of the public may visit the purpose-built Hong Kong Public Records Building in Kwun Tong or use the online service at http://www.grs.gov.hk.
