Archives

• Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia / National Archives of Indonesia
• International Institute of Social History: Asia Department - Collections: Indonesia: "The IISH has books, brochures, and newspapers and magazines concerning Indonesia during the colonial and especially the late-colonial and post-colonial periods. Aside from review studies, this material is largely about aspects of Dutch East-Indian society (ca. 1910-1942), the nationalist movement, and the struggle for independence and the Republic of Indonesia from 1945 onward. The material covers diplomatic relationships, as well as political and economic trends. It also deals with the coexistence of different ethnic groups, along with issues such as culture and education, working conditions, and the workers and trade union movements. The collection obviously highlights imperialism, colonialism, and social movements. Countless archival collections at the IISH relate Indonesian history. For example, the Institute's archives address Dutch socialist activists in late-colonial Indonesia such as H.A. Aa (1913-62). This collection consists of reports on political and economic subjects in Indonesia during the years following 1945. In addition, the papers of A. Baars (1892-1944) focus on his time in Indonesia (1915-21), and the papers of Ch.G. Cramer (1879-1976) contain mainly correspondence and documents about his membership of the People's Council (1918-23). Other examples include the papers of D.M.G. Koch (1881-1960), which comprise letters and documentation about Indonesia; the papers of H.H. van Kol (1852-1925), which contain documentation and correspondence; the papers of S. Koperberg (1884-1957), which consist mainly of correspondence and documentation about Indonesian political and social affairs after 1945, and the papers of W. Middendorp (1886-1976), which reveal economic study plans for the Garut District. The papers of H.J.F.M. Sneevliet (1883-1942) consist mostly of documents about the Indische Sociaal-Democratische Vereeniging [Indies Social-Democratic Association] (1914-18); the papers of J.E. Stokvis (1875-1951) contain documentation, clippings, and some correspondence about Indonesia; the papers of J. Toot (1887-1960) offer reports on the Dutch-Indies Educational Council (1929-31); and the papers of J.L. Vleming (1879-1965) comprise documentation and correspondence about his work as a tax official in the outlying districts. "
