Abstract

This study discusses the needs of photograph archives’ digitization at the Department of Library and Archives of DKI Jakarta Province or, in Bahasa, called Dinas Perpustakaan dan Arsip Daerah Jakarta. This is includes understanding what photo archives are, their value, and the need to digitize them. Archives of photographs are important to digitize because they embody information on facts, data, places and people related to the activities of DKI Jakarta government. The photograph archives also have historical value for verification and decision-making for the institution. This research is a qualitative study with observation, interview and literature review. The discussion is further reviewed using perspective theory and standard rules in the implementation of digitizing photo archives. The result is the process of digitizing the archive of photos that have been done but the basics in performing these activities have not been made available yet, so the management of photograph archives has not been maximized and the activities are incidental impressed. Suggestions from this research are the need to have a digitization policy, guidelines and standards about the implementation of digitization of photograph archives.
