The museum has a collection of more than 1,000 manuscripts/books/documents in Javanese and more than 5,000 in Dutch. After the program with BPAD terhenti ended, Wikimedia Indonesia continued the digitalisation efforts. In this program, all of Taman Siswa Museum's manuscripts were digitalised however, no further progress was made.

This was first handled with funding from the BPAD (Badan Perpustakaan dan Arsip Daerah Regional Body for Libraries and Archives). Taman Siswa Museum, in an effort to protect its fragile manuscripts/books/documents, requires that researchers who wish to examine the manuscripts/books/documents photocopy two copies of each manuscript/book/document being examined: one for the museum, and one for the researcher's own use.Īs technology developed, manuscripts/books/documents began to be digitalised by the Museum.

38 were uploaded to the Bebaskan Pengetahuan digital library (belonging to Wikimedia Indonesia) because they were either still in copyright or of unclear copyright status in both Indonesia and the United States.

20 were uploaded to the English Wikipedia (belonging to the Wikimedia Foundation) because they were in the public domain in the United States but possibly copyrighted in Indonesia.

42 were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (belonging to the Wikimedia Foundation) because they were in the public domain in both Indonesia and the United States.

In this effort to bring local digitalisation efforts (the museum is in Yogyakarta and the project was initiated by Wikimedia Indonesia) to the global level (in which the scanned books can be accessed by anyone anywhere so long as an internet connection is available), knowledge of copyright, particularly whether or not the works digitalised were in the public domain, was of utmost importance. By October 2015 a total of 100 Javanese-language texts had been digitalised. The Javanese Text Digitalisation Project, a collaborative project between Tamansiswa Dewantara Kirti Griya Museum, Yogyakarta and Wikimedia Indonesia (abbreviated KARJA) was commenced in May 2015.
