Carrying forward the knowledge embodied in such texts to a contemporary audience is a challenge to the evolving today. Unfortunately, the country has thus far devoted insufficient resources to the preservation and documentation of these records of local knowledge. Hope rests now in new sound and video recording technologies, which can enable at least partial preservation of these complex and deeply-rooted oral forms. While Lontar has neither the vast financial resources nor the staff numbers to record all of Indonesia’s oral traditions, the Foundation has thus far recorded 30 oral-performance traditions— visual documentation that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
