Project Description

Category Original Filming
Main Entry (e.g., author, title) Indonesian Political Tabloids
Publisher/Source various publishers
Copyright Owner
Description (subject, years covered, format, physical description, etc.)  Ca. 340 titles from Indonesia.  Dates range from as early as 1982 to 2001, with the bulk of periodicals dating 1998-2000.  Size ranges from 21 - 58 cm. In good condition.
Reasons for Consideration (Importance of material, history of collection, physical condition, etc.) These newspapers document the tumultuous times of Indonesian history when people took active action to get more freedoms and have participation in the government. The tabloids also document the freedom of the press that the Indonesians finally got and chronicle the events from different vantage points.

Many tabloids only lasted a few issues, but several titles (Jubi, Pop, Mingguan Pria, SuaR 168, Tashwirul afkar, Tokoh, and Tuah Sakato among others) are still continuing publication. 

The following cost considerations are estimates only.  The figures are based on page counts of the core collection received from Cornell, plus an expected 10% addition from contributing institutions. SEAM will make every effort to fill in gaps for titles from U.S. and overseas institutions.  If the expected cost increases more than $1000, we will resubmit the proposal for committee approval.

Page totals:
  Journal Size (20-36 cm):  19,384 + 1,938 = 21,322
  Tabloid Size (39-44 cm):  17,430 + 1743 = 19,173
  Newspaper Size (57-61 cm): 2,000 + 200 = 2,200

Considerations for Original Filming Proposals

Number of exposures 10,661 journals, 10,000 tabloids, 2,200 newspapers  = 22,861
Cost of exposures (# x $0.32) $7,350
Number of reels 10 (journals) + 15 (tabloids) + 5 (newspapers) = 30
Cost of reels (# x $28) $840
Number of add’l sets/copies needed 1 additional copy for Cornell, plus select reels for other substantial contributors.  (Est. 30 + 15 reels)
Cost of add’l sets/copies (# x $24) $1080
Other Costs
Total Cost $9,270
