Drafting Materials
The Drafting Materials database houses a collection of almost 900 documents prepared or used by various official bodies and individuals from 1985 to 1990, when the Basic Law was drafted until promulgation, and from 1990 to 1997, when preparations were made for the resumption of sovereignty. The collection was assembled and scanned from documents publicly available in Hong Kong. The materials are mostly in the Chinese language, although some English materials are available. The Search function allows full-text searching of the contents and meta-data of each document, and also searching in the title, author and document number fields. Advanced searching can narrow the pool of documents to be searched by official body, document type, language, meeting date and/or document date. Users can also Browse the database by author, date, official body and draft versions of the Basic Law. Search results appear in chronological order by document date.
