Development of a Cultural Heritage Digital Repository for the Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Digital change and access to information in various ways allow memory institutions like libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) to adopt modern cultural heritage management ideas and methodologies to be more efficient and effective. Ombilin Coal Mining Heritage of Sawahlunto (OCMHS) LAMs may develop a digital repository for cultural heritage and implement convergence. OCMHS had LAMs until UNESCO inscribed it as a World Heritage Site in 2019. This research aims to develop a digital repository prototype based on free open-source software (FOSS). This study employs qualitative case studies. Study data was collected from observation, interviews, document analysis, and focus groups. The study findings demonstrate the development of a digital repository prototype named "Pusako Ombilin." However, significant development flaws remain. Optimizing LAMs' data integration, which is yet unconverted, is the next phase. Other than that, standardized guidebooks are needed. Based on the results, researchers propose that OCMHS develop "Pusako Ombilin" and create an easy-to-understand implementation guideline.
