Prof. Sariyatun presents six strategies to implement primary sources in learning, namely identifying relevant primary sources, interestingly presenting primary sources, discussing and analyzing together, inviting students to be directly involved with primary sources, project-based learning, reflection and assessment.

“There are many benefits of using primary sources in learning. It is highly recommended, especially for completing historical investigations and analyses. The use of primary sources also encourages students to think critically and be more enthusiastic in learning because it involves students in reconstructing historical events,” explained Prof. Sariyatun

He delivered material on the topic “Digitalization of Primary Sources”. In his presentation, Dani stressed that the main task of the museum related to collections is maintenance, maintenance of collections, and management of collections.

Along with the times, there is a process of digitizing collections from museums, especially at the National Press Monument, which is carried out through several stages, such as collection selection/conservation, media transfer, data processing, database (SIDAK), and data utilization/access.

The digitization of newspapers and magazines by the National Press Monument began in 2010. Every year an average of 40,000 pages are digitized.
