The Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Library and Archives hosted a rare collection preservation training on Monday, July 15, 2024, in the Archives Preservation Room. This training was led by the UGM Archives Preservation Team and attended by several librarians from the UGM Library and Archives.

This training aims to support the program for the preservation of the physical form of rare collections owned by the UGM Library and Archives, so that these collections can remain maintained and used for a longer period. This step is part of the UGM Library and Archives' efforts to achieve the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which is quality education. In line with this goal, this activity also aligns with the 17th SDG, which is partnerships to achieve the goals. The UGM Library and Archives are committed to continuously strengthening inter-professional collaboration to achieve these objectives.

During the training, librarians were taught laminating techniques and methods, from making glue to the lamination process itself. Lamination is the process of covering paper with Japanese tissue to protect it from external factors that cause damage. It is hoped that with the knowledge and skills gained from this training, librarians will make significant contributions to preserving the cultural and intellectual heritage held by UGM Library and Archives.

The training is expected to be the first step in a series of preservation efforts for rare collections at UGM. With the capabilities and knowledge gained from this training, librarians are anticipated to contribute more to safeguarding the cultural and intellectual heritage of the UGM Library and Archives.

The UGM Library and Archives continues to strive to enhance the quality of its services and collections. This preservation training is a tangible demonstration of that commitment, as well as a strategic step in supporting quality education in Indonesia.
