description Archiving historical photographic works in museums is not easy because an archiving staff does not only archive photos but also has to take care of, examine photo data, and present them to the public so that they become archives that are worth showing off. Researchers, together with archive staff, will categorize photos based on three categories, namely photos of colonial cultural history, the war of independence, and the period of nation building. In this case, the research aims to find out work patterns and what an archiving staff does, categorize photos, know virginity and archiving methods so that it is useful to add references to the breadth of the photography profession that will be conveyed to the public. Preservation of photographic works is also a form of long-term research that requires patience because of the very broad aspects of its work. Proper handling, storage, or reconstruction of historical photographic material requires special care, so this research is expected to provide a new discourse to the public regarding the breadth of the world of photographic work that is not limited to photographing skills.
