oa Internationale toegankelijkheid van de Leidse Indonesiëcollecties

The Leiden University Libraries (UBL) manages unique collections, including early texts and objects from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. These collections have expanded significantly, and the UBL has focused on digitizing them to improve accessibility. The collections include fragile manuscripts and objects from diverse materials like palm leaves and tree bark. The digitization project aims to preserve the objects, enhance metadata, and make these items globally accessible for research, ensuring that materials are available for scholars worldwide and facilitating their use in educational and academic contexts.
