"香港科技大學圖書館有一個特別的收藏，那就是西洋人所繪製的中國古代地圖，包括單幅的作品與成冊的地圖集。這些地圖都不是複製品，而是多年累積從歐洲購入的原作，其中有相當罕見的，甚至有獨一無二的，連歐洲圖書館都未入藏的地圖。

… 其實這個收藏的最大特點還不止在於其珍貴，而主要的是它系統地反映了十五世紀以來，西方人對中國地理的認識的發展歷程，同時從中還可以透視出中外地理知識與地圖製作方面的交流。可以說大約是地圖發展史上每一個時期都有代表作收入其中，所以值得我們予以介紹。"
- 周振鶴

"… this superb collection, which so vividly reflects Europe's lasting fascination and cross-cultural exchange with China over many centuries, should be located here in Hong Kong, such an important commercial entrepot and vibrant cross-cultural melting pot, and for so long the meeting point, if not the revolving door, between China and the West.

… one of the finest cartographic collections in Asia - a unique and invaluable resource that scholars and map-lovers, not only in Hong Kong but in every corner of the world, will now be able to access, use and enjoy long into the future."
- Roderick M. Barron
