Archival Series (2457...2623)

As already mentioned, the Daily Journals of Batavia Castle were laminated and rebound during a restoration project in 1978–1982, undertaken by the former Director of ANRI, Dra Soemartini (in office 1972-1991). Thanks to this initiative, the ANRI-TCF digitalization team could scan the heavy volumes in 2013 without extra paper treatments. All bindings were removed so that the pages could be scanned as flat as possible. Although high quality scanning was performed, it was not always possible to reconstruct the original page numbering. Sometimes folios were missing or wrongly bound. Sometimes folios were double numbered. Consequently, there may be occasional disconnects between the marginalia database and the scanstore data which the editors have done everything possible to prevent.
