The Peng Chau Archive is a project that aims at challenging official historical narratives about Peng Chau by collecting residents’ memories in the form of testimonies, photos or artifacts. It gathered island residents, new and old, at various times. Participating members:

Myriem is a PhD student at the Department of Geography and Resource Management, CUHK, where she works on urban islands and political ecology. She is based on Peng Chau, where she co-founded Islanders Zine, the Inter-Island Festival, and Nam Wan Bookshop.

April is a descendant of fishermen. It is her pleasure to be one of the curators of this project so she can know more about her family's history. For example, the living condition on the boat, the life being a fisherman and the career change from a fisherman to be a worker. 

Jimmie studied in France, where she immersed herself in discourse analysis and the practice of theatre. Before the pandemic, she relocated to an outlying island, and there embarked upon a long observation of island life and its inhabitants. From this sustained attention, there grew a devotion to maritime literature and ecological writing. She responds to the island through the act of writing—attempting, within the fabric of language, to preserve and to generate the stories that belong to this place. She has authored "潮汐之間" and "戲院席間".
