Hello all, We want to share our effort in digitization in this and last year. Our recent effort is doing collaboration with Horison magazine, a prominent literature magazine since 1960. They're enthusiast to share their magazine via Wikimedia Commons and licencing under CC-BY-SA 4.0, since this year on 50th anniversary, their magazine will only publicized online via horison-online.com.

Happy reading Wikimedia Indonesia are collaborating with institutions to enrich Indonesian books in Commons Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Syukuran_hasil_kerja_sama_Proyek_Digitalisasi_Wikimedia_Indonesia_dengan_Museum_Dewantara_Kirti_Griya_13.jpg, CC-BY-SA 4.0 Wikimedia Indonesia, in collaboration with the Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum, ran a six-month GLAM project <http://wikimedia.or.id/wiki/Digitalisasi_Karya_Jawa_Cetak_dari_Koleksi_Museum_Tamansiswa_Dewantara_Kirti_Griya,_Yogyakarta> which digitized Javanese-language printed books from the museum's collections. Between May and November 2015, this project digitized more than 100 books. More than half of these are now in the public domain in their source country (Indonesia) and/or in the United States and have thus been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Books_in_the_Dewantara_Kirti_Griya_Museum_digitized_in_the_Karja_Project> or (for books still in copyright in Indonesia) the English Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Books_in_the_Dewantara_Kirti_Griya_Museum_digitized_in_the_Karja_Project>. Those books still under copyright in both Indonesia and the United States have been uploaded to a closed-access website until such time as they are in the Public Domain.

It has been of special benefit to academics and researchers who are interested in Javanese-language books and print culture. It has also had the effect of convincing the Office of Libraries and Archives, Yogyakarta, to continue digitization efforts, albeit without allowing open access to the results.

For instance, Mohammad Rokib of the State University of Surabaya wrote " I'll share this to sanskrit students and colleagues in my uni," and the Indonesian Studies program at Leiden University shared the initial project announcement, noting that "digitized old Javanese print books (pre-independence, many from the 1910s and 20s) from the Taman Siswa Museum in Yogyakarta" were now online and available for use.". Another similar project is the collaboration with Horison magazine, a notable magazine published in Indonesia which intended to focus on poetry and literature. In March 2016, Wikimedia Indonesia was invited by Horison staffs asking the possibility to digitize their magazine collections. Wikimedia Indonesia undertook their demands to scan the magazine from July 1966 edition.

Scanned magazines from July 1966 to December 1990 editions are now available in Wikimedia Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Majalah_Horison> for free under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license. Letters of permissions from representative author are being sent to OTRS team to be reviewed. In addition, this year, Wikimedia Indonesia intends to continue its digitization program, focusing on the more than 600 Dutch-language letters written by Ki Hadjar Dewantara - the founder of Taman Siswa and widely considered the father of modern education in Indonesia. This is meant to further develop the collaboration and relationship between the Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum and Wikimedia Indonesia. -- Biyanto Rebin | Ketua Umum (*Chair*) 2016-2018 Wikimedia Indonesia Nomor Ponsel: +62 8989 037379 Surel: biyanto.re...@wikimedia.or.id ~~~~ Dukung upaya kami membebaskan pengetahuan: http://wikimedia.or.id/wiki/Wikimedia_Indonesia:Donasi _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
