Goals
Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
Yes we meet our goals, our goal is to create at least 500 balinese palm-leaf manuscripts metadata to Wikidata, Commons and additional Wikisource. Until now we already collected metadata from various genre and condition of palm-leaf manuscripts. Until finished project, 615 Balinese palm-leaf manuscripts we collected from 6 places. Which is at:
- Jro Mangku House, Tojan, Klungkung, Bali, at December 27th, 2020.
- Sugi Lanus, Wanagiri, Sukasada, Buleleng, Bali, at January 2-3rd, 2021 and January 12th, 2021.
- Museum Semarajaya, Semarapura, Klungkung, Bali, at January 27-29th, 2021
- Griya Kelodan Sawan, Sawan village, Sawan district, Buleleng, Bali, at February 5-7th, 2021
- Griya Dauh Kemenuh, Sukawati district, Gianyar, Bali, at February 5-7th, 2021
- Jro Mangku House, Sukawati district, Gianyar, Bali, at February 27-28th, 2021
Another places (2-4 places) is canceled due to restricted Covid-19 Pandemic in that areas (see:project schedule), but we managed to find another place for reschedule. Another difficulty we encountered was the difficulty in convincing palm-leaf manuscripts owners to share their metadata. We had to approach it for two months before this project started. Some palm-leaf manuscripts owners still consider their lontar sacred and should not be read by just anyone.
