Abstract

Archives are unique and irreplaceable heritage passing through generations. Archives are managed from creation to preserve their value and meaning. They are authoritative sources of information underpinning accountable and transparent administrative actions. Archive system is also essential to preserve the legitimacy of sovereign state especially when it comes to border protection. Given the fact that Indonesia is a strategic archipelagic maritime state in which its borders are defined by the outermost coastal lines of the outermost small islands (PPKT), the protection and security systems are not only defined by military power but also through a legitimate documentation archives of these border islands. The archives are managed by archive system as the part of national assets. It is a national asset because these archives are the authentic evidences about the state’s sovereignty upon the borders. Therefore, archives are also essential to secure the legitimacy of Indonesian maritime borders. This study discussed the implementation of Indonesian Archive System as mandated in the Law No.43/2009 on Archive and its real challenges upon globalization, good governance and public services. The methods of the research were normative approach and conceptual approach. This study concluded that the implementation of archive system as a maritime defense must integrated into a comprehensive system of national archive which also documented border islands in relation with state institutions, regional governments, education institutions, companies, political organization, civil society organization and population history.
