The official press release of this launching:

The Nusantara’s old history on a new website
On Friday, 27 September 2013, the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI) and The Corts Foundation together launched a website on the history of the Nusantara, the old pre-colonial name for the Indonesian Archipelago.

Thousands of digital documents available
This website is aimed at everyone who is interested in the early modern history of Indonesia and Southeast Asia. For researchers the site offers detailed and searchable databases.

Memory of the World register
These collections are preserved in the Archive of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), which in 2004 was accepted onto the UNESCO Memory of the World register. They thus have a protected status.
Sejarah Nusantara (History of the Archipelago) is the result of a long-standing cooperation between the ANRI and the Corts Foundation. Sejarah Nusantara is an official website which can be accessed via www.sejarah-nusantara.anri.go.id.

Letters of governors, kings and merchants
The ‘Daily Journals of Batavia Castle’ (1624-1807) form the first part of the digitalized VOC archive. This is a source of some 80,000 pages, which are of great importance for the history of the Nusantara and Southeast Asia. Thousands of documents originate from Asians.
The ‘Daily Journals’ contain hundreds of letters of the susuhunans (rulers) of Java, the Maluku sultans, the kings of Siam, and the rajas of Cochin. It is also a rich source for the national and international history of the Indonesian archipelago. The Nusantara had at this time important political and economic links with China and India.

Hidden Treasures
A selection of unusual documents have been published online in the special ‘Hidden Treasures’ category (in Indonesian: ‘Harta Karun’). These documents have been translated both into Indonesian and English. Ten internationally renowned historians have provided the introductions.
