Abstract

Indonesia is a multicultural country. It has lots of local culture (mostly the oral ones) from their ancestors. These local cultures, however, will possibly fade out if they are not preserved properly. One of the roles of a library, as IFLA says, is to preserve local cultures. For this reason, the Program of LIS of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta includes “Documenting Local Culture” in its curriculum. This paper tries to elaborate the teaching-learning material, the method, and the cultural exhibition that functions as the final project of the teaching-learning process. This paper also describes how the teaching-learning activities during the pandemic time were carried out. Data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation. This paper concludes that the idea of preserving a local culture through teaching-learning activities can be done by starting a discussion of theories of culture and issues in cultural preservation, followed with building the students’ awareness of the importance of preserving local cultures, then with doing researches on local cultures, and finally with repackaging information for a cultural exhibition. While enjoying the teaching-learning process of “Documenting Local Culture,” the students have to some degree preserved the local culture.
