Archive Oration by Dr. Aisyah, SE., M.Si, in her oration, "Audio-Visual Archives and the USU Archives Office Awards Program", Dr. Aisyah emphasized "Audio-visual archives often remain 'silent' on storage shelves—such as VHS tapes that are stored away in roll o packs or cabinets without any effort to identify their contents, let alone to migrate them to other media. It's a shame because they hold valuable institutional memories.

 

At Universitas Sumatera Utara, we have taken steps to 'revive' these hidden treasures by professionally managing our audio-visual archives. We began by identifying their contents, digitizing them, and publishing them as historical content of great value—not only for internal university use but also nationally through SIKN and JIKN, the National Archival Information System and Network integrated with ANRI. This is not merely preservation—it is an active effort to safeguard the historical legacy of the institution."
