THE MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION OF THE ACEH MUSEUM

摘要

The manuscript collection of the Aceh Museum contains over 1,500 volumes written in Malay, Acehnese and Arabic, and covers a wide variety of subjects, including literature and the Islamic sciences. Among the highlights of the collection are works by great Acehnese writers and scholars such as Hamzah Fansuri, Syams al-Din al-Sumatrani and Abd al-Rauf al-Sinkili. This article describes the development and scope of the collection, and the steps taken by the Aceh Museum to raise public awareness of the value of manuscripts as a tangible legacy of the great intellectual heritage of Aceh, especially following the devastating tsunami of 26 December 2004.
