IMPLEMENTASI PRESERVASI KOLEKSI NASKAH KUNO MELALUI METODE DIGITALISASI DI PERPUSTAKAAN WIDYA PUSTAKA PURA PAKUALAMAN YOGYAKARTANIM.: 21101040105Prasasti Cahya PurbawaniauthorThe Widya Pustaka Library has a collection of ancient manuscripts that come from the Paku Alam family's hereditary legacy. Although most of the manuscripts are in good condition, some have suffered severe damage that threatens the preservation of their information. Therefore, in order to preserve the information contained therein, digitization was carried out. This study aims to examine how the preservation of ancient manuscript collections is implemented through digitization methods. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of this study are informants selected using purposive sampling techniques, consisting of library staff, and digitization partners. The objects of this study are the implementation of digitizing ancient manuscripts. The primary instrument in this study is the researcher themselves. Supporting instruments used include interview equipment, interview guidelines, and documentation guidelines. Data validity was tested using credibility checks such as triangulation and member checks, transferability tests, dependability tests, and confirmability tests. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the Widya Pustaka Library carries out the digitization process through three main stages: the pre-digitization stage (inventory, selection, and surveying the physical condition of library materials, preparing a photo room, preparing equipment, evaluating and analyzing metadata, determining digital file formats and selecting object capture methods), the digitization stage (equipment calibration, object capture, file conversion, digital object correction, file compilation files, packaging multimedia in offline format), and the post-digitization stage (collecting master files, creating data copies, verifying digitization results and data checklists, and implementing a system for managing and accessing digital objects). In its implementation, challenges were encountered, particularly in the pre-digitization stage (lack of a dedicated studio, absence of written guidelines on equipment used, and no standardized naming conventions for metadata files), the digitization stage (no written SOPs or technical guidelines, damaged or tightly bound manuscripts, inadequate lighting, manual editing processes), the post-digitization stage (digitization results not yet available online), and other challenges related to funding constraints.025.82 Preservation of Collections (Pelestarian Koleksi Perpustakaan)2025-07-07UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ADAB DAN ILMU BUDAYAThesis
