Photojournalism is no doubt a historical asset for human civilization. Before it is in digital format like we have today, photographs were kept in celuloid film or what we called as analog photography. These photographs are not pixalated data, but they are in physical form that require a place to store. Beside the fact that celuloid films require storage space and has to be organized by content, analog photographs also have a limited lifespan before they fade, decomposed or damaged. Quality of images will decline after 45 years of storage. With such facts, film preservation and archival from analog photographs into digital is necessary to salvage these documents. Analog digitalizing is also important because it will allow old photographs to become accessible for public or wider audience. Kompas as a daily newpspaper has managed to digitalize their collection of analog photographs from 1965-2005. Digital archiving requires a set of stages: collecting photographs, selecting, scanning, inserting description, cataloging and storing. Eventhough Harian Kompas has developed a standard workflow and has adequate equipment for digitalizing and archiving, it is faced with a problem of the lack of texts description. Up to February 2020, digitalization team has archieved 93,952 film envelopes (about 2 million photoraphs) into 340,965 photos uploaded to digital archive. It left 55,451 photographs without caption. This research is to discuss Kompas’ film digitalization with its challenges and another alternative model suggestion that may be used by other newspapers.
