In his welcoming remarks, the University Secretary also conveyed that he faced many challenges when collecting past archives, but with all efforts, we tried to search everywhere, even in warehouses, because archives are very important to know the past history of the University as a stepping stone for moving forward into the future.

The Head of the USU Archive Office also added, "The USU Archive Office is integrated with the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia. We have also participated in training, both technical and leadership, to equip us all with how to manage archives professionally, both manual procedures and digitally. One example is training in digital and electronic archives and archival authentication training. This greatly helps us distinguish between original and fake documents, and we can professionally manage digital archives. Even though it's digital now, archiving isn't done haphazardly but must still comply with rules and professionalism, even in digital form," he said.
