ABSTRAK

The Cultural Heritage Act No. 5/1992, Chapter I Article 2, the manuscript of a library and museum collection as the most authentic source of knowledge about human identity and cultural history. Manuscripts will not last long without proper care; preservation of manuscripts is beneficial for future generations. Based on observation, 476 manuscripts were stored in the Library and Archives Service (DISPERSIP) of South Kalimantan and Lambung Mangkurat Museum in South Kalimantan, which mostly did not receive good attention. Preservation effort is not easy and it is needed proper handling by the experts in their fields. The purpose of this research is to find out, describe the preservation process, the constraints and solutions carried out in preservation of manuscripts at DISPERSIP and Lambung Mangkurat Museum in South Kalimantan. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and qualitative descriptive type in the form of describing data based on the recording. The research subjects in DISPERSIP and Lambung Mangkurat Museum with their objects are manuscripts in two places. Research data were in the form of respondents' identities, manuscripts, and the description of preservation efforts, obstacles, and preservation solutions. Sources of data were from informants, documents and supporting books. Data collection techniques were by using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques consisted of data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing/verification. Qualitative data analysis is carried out interactively and took place continuously until it is complete so that the data is already saturated. The results of research in conserving these two institutions have differed on the physical preservation and contents preservation of manuscripts. The physical preservation script was taken by giving chemical substance and sticking it to wider and stronger paper. The contents of the manuscript by scanning for digitization, giving names based on the main ideas, classification and brief outlines based on philology. Obstacles in conservation activities were due to the lack of budget for the purchase of conservation infrastructure and limited human resources in handling preservation. The solution that can be proposed is by having cooperation with another party in preservation process.
