Some years ago the Information Services Office (ISO) launched the ‘ISO Publication Digital Archive’ featuring digitized versions of University publications. The archive has been well received by CUHK members and the public. Now the ISO presents ‘CUHK in Pixels’, a database of images capturing momentous occasions of the University since its founding. A website ( http://apps.cuhk.edu.hk/cuhk-in-pixels/ ) has been created for the purpose, that can be accessed via the official CUHK website. With a neat layout and a user-friendly interface, ‘CUHK in Pixels’ features images in eight categories, including ‘Campus’, ‘College’, and ‘Learning’. Visitors can browse photos by clicking the categories or find photos by keyword search. Every photo contains details like ‘tags’ and ‘time shot’. Some photos have information on ‘source’ which when clicked will show you the backstory. Over 1,500 photos have been uploaded so far, and the number will continue to increase. Mr. Tommy Cho, Director of Information Services, said, ‘The faces, events and landscapes on campus have left many beautiful images which make up the collective memory of the University. The archive is an effort to promote and democratize the visual culture on campus by making these valuable memory traces accessible to everyone.’ He saw it as a continuous and growing resource: ‘Our first steps are to make available all the photos that have appeared in the University publications. In later stages we hope that other units may follow suit and contribute their photos to make it a truly University-wide image resource.’ 中大與艾伯塔大學加強學術聯繫 CUHK Reaffirms Partnership with University of Alberta 艾伯塔大學校監Ralph Young 先生率領一行七人代表團，於 10月14日到訪中大。代表團 成員包括常務副校長Steven Dew博士（ 左 ）、國際關係與 招生處常務理事暨助理副校長 （國際）黃岑博士和中國學院 院長侯秉東先生等，由本校校 長沈祖堯教授（ 右 ）、協理副校 長張偉雄教授、以及中大香港 亞太研究所聯合所長趙永佳教 授接待。 兩校代表交換最新發展及科研 動向，並審視兩校現有合作和在世界大學聯盟中共同參與的項目。中大與艾伯塔大學於1996年簽署學術 交流備忘錄，成為合作夥伴，並於1999年簽署另一份備忘錄，制訂本科生交流計劃。是次訪問，沈祖堯 校長和Steven Dew博士在兩校代表見證下續簽兩份備忘錄，深化兩校的合作關係。 A seven-member delegation led by Mr. Ralph Young, Chancellor, University of Alberta, visited CUHK on 14 October for the purposes of strengthening ties and reaffirming partnerships in academic collaboration and student exchange.
