Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of making photos part of an archival collection and provides recommendations for acquisition methods. This paper will explore the role of developing archive acquisition methods carried out by the Depok City Archives and Libraries Office to enrich the collection. Photographic archives are an essential part of cultural heritage, provide a visual record of the past, and are a valuable resource for researchers and historians to contribute to sustainable development. This paper uses observation data and document analysis of archive acquisition activities carried out by the Depok City Archives and Library Service as a Regional Archives Institution. Archive acquisition activities at the Depok City Archives and Library Service consist of two methods, first, acquisition of archives by withdrawing from regional, sub-district, and sub-district apparatus organizations and acquisition of archives from the community by giving rewards through the “Contest for Adding Archives Treasures.” These two methods are implemented based on ANRI Head Regulation No. 31 of 2011 concerning Procedures for Acquisition of Archives and Depok Mayor Regulation No. 82 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for Acquisition Archives within the Depok City Government. The implement archive acquisition method based on applicable guidelines can increase the effectiveness of the acquisition archives at the Depok City Archives Institute.
