Aims and objectives
This project deals with manuscripts stored in Gresik and Tuban, which are tied together in one pesantren family; Pesantren Qomaruddin, Bungah, Gresik, East Java. These will complement the previous project undertaken by Amiq in the EAP project (EAP061/2006), which has not yet digitised the manuscript collection in Gresik. One hundred manuscripts belonging to several descendants of the pesantren founders have been digitised by the DREAMSEA Project (2021) by PPIM UIN Jakarta and Hamberg University, Germany), but a hundred manuscripts remain untouched. This collection is important for the intellectual history of Islam in the north coast of East Java and Indonesia.
Outcomes
The project successfully digitised 204 manuscripts, consisting of 7456 image files with total 225 GB on size. This result exceeded the initial target of 150 manuscripts. The manuscripts written in various papers, such as daluang paper, european paper, plain paper, and also lined paper. It’s dating probably from 18th (e.g. 1793 M) to 20th century. In addition, the project also conducted a manuscript digitisation workshop at the beginning of the project, and disseminated the manuscripts through webinars and online media. The digitisation workshop involved 30 manuscript owners. Meanwhile, the webinar was conducted in collaboration with other organisations, such as Ngariksa and Lingkar Filologi Ciputat (https://youtu.be/vbUWV81mCwc). This project has also been disseminated through several news channels, such as qomaruddin.com, beritabaru.com, and BRIN TV.
