Like many national libraries around the world, the National Library of Indonesia’s (Perpusnas) Preservation Center is facing the problem of the decay of its collection of early printed newspapers. To date, only 2.5% of this collection has been digitized. The goal is to upload these materials on the library’s online platform Khastara, but online access is limited due to Indonesian copyright laws.
