課本是生產與傳授知識的工具。除了老師的講課，課本內容的資訊對學生也影響深遠。課本看似十分普通，但在資訊科技還未普及的年代，它卻是教導過去幾代學生認知香港社會及世界的重要工具。但課堂以外，畢業以後，舊課本還有價值嗎?

舊課本的製作、印刷、出版、發行以及書內的插圖和影像都富有時代色彩。課文內容也反映出編者對不同年代的社會文化想像與詮釋，當中尤以小學的語文科、常識科和健康教育科的內容最為豐富，是研究香港社會歷史文化的好材料。 長春社文化古蹟資源中心（CACHe）有幸與〈舊課本〉共同策劃展覽，展示各種舊課本與教學工具，與大家再讀未完的舊課本並重溫舊課本裡的舊香港。再讀舊課本除了讓大家懷緬過去在課堂學習的時光外，也提醒我們過去社會提倡的生活文化與價值。我們期待大家能在舊課本裡重溫消失了的香港影像及其美好價值，亦寄望透過分享舊物及其故事，展開與不同年代香港人的對話開端。

Textbooks are one of the best tools to record and pass on knowledge. The information and teachings delivered in textbooks could have profound impact on students apart from teachers’ lecturing. During times when information technology was yet to prevail, ordinary textbooks were an important medium for students to learn about the society of Hong Kong and the world. What do these old textbooks worth beyond classes or graduation?

The production, printing, publishing, distribution, as well as the illustrations and images of old textbooks were rich in cultural characteristics of particular eras. The subject contents usually reflected editors’ imagination and elaboration of different social cultures over times. In particular, the contents of languages, general studies and health education subjects were rich, making them good research materials for topics on the history and cultures of old Hong Kong.

The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage (CACHe) has great pleasure to partner with the OLD TEXTBOOKS in organising this exhibition, to display old textbooks and teaching materials and to reminisce about the old Hong Kong illustrated within. Besides providing us a channel to recollect our precious classroom memories, the exhibition reminds us about the cultures and values of life advocated by the community. We hope you will recall the wonderful images and values of Hong Kong through rereading the old textbooks, and hope that the sharing of old stuff and stories will break the communication gap between different generations of Hong Kong people.
