After the passing of Dr. Doming Lam, the revered “Father of Hong Kong New Music,” his daughter, Miss Kathy Lam, generously donated his extensive archive to HKU Libraries' Special Collections. This collection includes drafts, letters, manuscripts, and photographs offering deep insights into Dr. Lam’s life and work. The Department of Music, Special Collections, and HKU MUSE collaborated to curate the "Of Roots and Ways: Doming Lam Archive Exhibition", which aims to showcase the selected treasures from his archive and the invaluable contributions of Dr. Doming Lam. A standout feature of the exhibition highlights carefully selected pages from Dr. Lam's meticulously crafted albums. Filled with precious photographs, press clippings, and his personal annotations, these albums serve as a gateway to the past, providing readers with a vivid experience of Dr. Lam's significant life events. They represent invaluable firsthand accounts with profound historical and biographical significance.
