Preserving manuscripts in Bali

Klungkung[edit]

The Wikisource Loves Manuscript program for the first time conducted a digital preservation mission of manuscripts in the Klungkung area, Bali, Indonesia. This activity was supported by the Bali Wikisource community initiated by Carma Citrawati who acted as an academic expert, accompanied by two photographers, namely Kasu Wardana and Gesram Dwijayana with supervision of Ilham Nurwansah and Lilis Shofiyanti from the PPIM. The mission was carried from March 14-17, 2023.

About The collection[edit]

The collection digitized in this mission is 30 lontar bundles written in Balinese script located in the Banjar Tojan Kaler area, Tojan village of Klungkung regency, Bali, which is privately owned by Made Oka Suryawan Salain, a local religious leader. This collection was examined and catalogued in 2020 in the WikiLontar project. However, in the WikiLontar project, only two front pages and two back pages of each bundle were photographed. So that a complete photo of the contents of a more complete pages was carried out in the WILMA program. This mission resulted 1.057 images of palm-leaf manuscripts.
