Indonesia Archives and Libraries

Archives generally collect and preserve original documents from organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilms. The following section describes the major archives and libraries of genealogical and historical records for Australia.

Many of these archives and libraries have a Web page on the Internet. From the Web page you can obtain up-to-date information on addresses, services, telephone numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and much more. A catalog of the repository’s holdings are listed on the Internet.
