The Chronicle is the news-memory layer of Hong Kong Story: it distils “strings” scattered through old newspapers, press releases and official yearbooks into dated facts with a primary official source and an archive coordinate. It does not store article text or images — those belong to their copyright holders — but records what happened on which day and where to verify it. Every entry carries a primary source (registered in the source register); unverified dates are not recorded.
