“…Qualitative research on these ancient manuscripts also involves studying and analyzing handwritten documents to gain insight into their historical, cultural, social, and linguistic significance (Bonilla, 2021). Ancient manuscripts are invaluable primary sources providing unique glimpses into the past, often containing information about historical events, religious beliefs, cultural practices, and intellectual traditions (O'Hagan, 2023).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage. This research was conducted on the community of Garut district in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on the handling of local cultural products from the past that have become tourist attractions. Theoretical Framework: In this research, the theory of participation from Sherry R Arnstein is used, which divides into eight sub-levels and three main levels: low or non-participation level, moderate or tokenism level, and high participation or citizen power level. Research Method: The method used in this study is a case study that examines cultural heritage in the form of objects, locations, manuscripts, and texts with historical significance. Our investigation includes the Holy Tomb of Godog, Holy Tomb of Sunan Cipancar, Sacred Tomb of Raden Papak, and Prehistoric Site of Pasir Lulumpang. Research Findings: Community involvement in the preservation of ancient manuscripts is only carried out by the owners of the manuscripts. The general public is unable to participate due to difficult access, as the manuscript owners are not open to the wider community. Additionally, there is a role for families in preserving ancestral heritage, which includes annual routine activities and forming associations with descendants of the family tomb. Conclusion: Community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage seems to be low. This is evident from the many historical heritages still kept within the community and not yet reported to the government or other relevant parties for the preservation of these historical values.

“…The digital surrogate can provide larger access to the work that would not be available otherwise (McGrady, 2016, p. 22). Bonilla (2021) and McGrady focus on how each version can be used to support researchers, with Bonilla emphasizing that we should not lose contact with the original. The digital surrogate continues to have great value as new computer methods can generate new perspectives (Bonilla, 2021).…”

The Relationship Between a Historical Manuscript and its Digital Surrogate

Through the digitization of rare or special manuscripts, academics have researched the impact of digitization and its relationship with the physical manuscript itself. Past literature has focused on how the digital can complement the physical, the changing manuscript’s identity when its digitized, and past research around the quality of a digital surrogate. The importance of carefully considering the impact of the quality of a digitized manuscript is essential. However, every edition (physical or digital) changes in some way and moves further from the original, be it an issue with the digitization or pages being removed or altered in the physical manuscript. Though some scholars find that content may be lost when digitized, there can also be more information added by cataloguers. Ultimately, digital surrogates allow for wider access, but their quality must be considered and properly addressed in research. A researcher who is aware of and within their work clearly states the relationship between the digital surrogate and the physical manuscript will find that it is a great support for any researcher.

Using scalable vector graphics in medieval Latin palaeography: new approaches, new conversations

The use of scalable vector graphics (SVG) in the study of pre-modern handwriting (palaeography) to date has been extremely limited, especially amongst scholars of the medieval Latin West and its manuscript culture(s). Informed by the author’s experience of using vector graphics for over a decade in researching and teaching medieval Latin palaeography in UK and EU Higher Education, this short article offers a starting point for further conversation. Following a general introduction and a concise survey of current practice, it discusses some basic SVG editing tools and exemplifies the utility of their application in three key areas of palaeographic study (tracing, analysis, and visualization) before highlighting, by way of conclusion, potential avenues of future development with the aim of enabling and encouraging colleagues to make greater use of SVG in their research and teaching.
