Unlocking Historical Treasure: Optimizing the Utilization of Manuscripts at National Library of Indonesia in the Digital Age

Indonesian manuscripts are spread across regions of Indonesia and abroad, with the number of recorded manuscripts totaling 143.259 manuscripts, consisting of 100.770 manuscripts in Indonesia and 42.489 manuscripts abroad. Indonesian Manuscripts reflect intellectual levels, important events in history, local wisdom, and spiritual values. Unfortunately, most of the manuscripts are in vulnerable conditions due to the influence of age, diverse writing media, and tropical climate conditions that can accelerate damage. This paper explores how National Library of Indonesia optimize Indonesian manuscript in the digital era. One of priority program in National Library of Indonesia is mainstreaming Indonesian manuscript. In general there are transforming Indonesian manuscript into engaging modern format, transliteration, translation, and adaptation of Indonesian manuscripts into modern formats such as picture books and serial comics, followed by research studies, providing digital access to Indonesian manuscripts heritage through an integrated platform, and promote the use of Indonesian manuscripts through a read-aloud challenge featuring picture books adapted from Indonesian manuscript, and competition reviewing book based on rewritten stories from Indonesian manuscripts. National Library of Indonesia is committed to mainstreaming Indonesian manuscripts from upstream to downstream — covering drafting grand design, making regulation, preservation, conservation, study, adaptation, and dissemination.

印度尼西亚手稿（Indonesian manuscript）分布于印度尼西亚国内及海外各地，目前有记录的手稿总量达143259件，其中国内藏有100770件，海外藏有42489件。印度尼西亚手稿承载着当地学术发展水平、历史重大事件、本土智慧与精神价值。遗憾的是，受年代久远、书写载体多样以及会加速藏品损坏的热带气候等因素影响，绝大多数手稿都处于易受损的脆弱保存状态。本文探讨了印度尼西亚国家图书馆（National Library of Indonesia）如何在数字时代对印度尼西亚手稿进行优化利用。印度尼西亚国家图书馆的重点项目之一，便是推动印度尼西亚手稿的主流化传播。总体而言，该项目涵盖多项工作：将印度尼西亚手稿进行转写、翻译，并转化为富有吸引力的现代形态，具体包括将手稿改编为绘本、连载漫画等现代载体；随后开展相关研究，通过集成平台为印度尼西亚手稿遗产提供数字化访问渠道，还依托改编自手稿的绘本发起诵读挑战，并举办基于手稿改写故事的书评竞赛，以此推广印度尼西亚手稿的应用。印度尼西亚国家图书馆致力于从上游到下游全链路推动印度尼西亚手稿的主流化传播，涵盖顶层设计制定、政策规范出台、藏品保护修复、研究分析、改编转化与传播推广等全环节。关键词：印度尼西亚手稿；数字化保护；推广项目
