UPAYA DIGITALISASI NASKAH KUNO DI PERPUSTAKAAN YAYASAN PANGERAN SUMEDANG

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized as a country with the greatest wealth of ancient manuscript heritage in the world. The diversity of cultures and customs stretching from Sabang to Merauke makes Indonesia has hundreds or even thousands of ancient manuscripts. Today, ancient manuscripts are considered the nation's cultural heritage with high historical value and their existence is stored as carefully as possible in libraries and museums. Even so, writing that is tens or even hundreds of years old makes ancient manuscripts vulnerable to damage. This cannot be ignored because ancient manuscripts have a source of information and real evidence of the past civilization of the nation's ancestors. Therefore, it is necessary to take concrete action to preserve ancient manuscripts, one of which is by media transfer or digitalization methods. This qualitative research focuses on ancient manuscripts stored in the Yayasan Pangeran Sumedang library. Including 4 informants who have background knowledge regarding the preservation of ancient manuscripts. The results of this research show that the Yayasan Pangeran Sumedang library is digitizing as an ancient manuscript preservation activity. In its implementation, the library applies standard operational steps in media transfer activities, namely (1) Pre-digitization, (2) Digitization, and (3) Post-digitization. This research shows that the final product of the digital media transfer activities carried out at the Yayasan Pangeran Sumedang library is an e-book. This digital version of ancient manuscripts is intended for all levels of society, with the hope that ordinary people can access the knowledge contained in ancient manuscripts. Not only that, the repackaging of this ancient manuscript also targets the younger generation to become increasingly interested in reading the history of the nation's ancestors
