Abstract

Abstract. Indramayu Regency has many ancient manuscripts that remain scattered in its society. However, the owners of this ancient manuscript are still reluctant to open or lend them for research material. The reasons are various, starting from the fear that the ancient manuscripts will be damaged to the fear of their ancestors' curse if opened carelessly. One of the manuscripts in the Indramayu Regency is the ancient Legok Kolot manuscript stored in the Darul Ma'arif Legok Lohbener Islamic Boarding School, Indramayu. This study aims to describe the efforts to preserve the Legok Kolot manuscript through the digitization process carried out at the Holy Grave of Prabu Geusan Ulun, Indramayu Regency. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method where the research data obtained by observation, interview, and documentation study techniques. This research produces a digital manuscript of the Legok Kolot manuscript. The hope is that this digital script can be accessed quickly, adds insight and knowledge to the broader community who reads it and can become one of the identities and cultural riches of the Indramayu people.
