Koleksi Keratan Akhbar

Abstract

A collection of newspaper clippings from four newspapers was started by the National Collection Division in April 1983. One of the objectives of this venture was to enrich available materials on the Malay world, in line with the original concept behind the establishment of the Division. A ttention therefore, was given to disciplines which covered politics, socio-economic conditions, religion and customs of the Malay world, as reflected in Section A [of the list of subjects covered}, given at the end of the article. Cuttings in other areas which touched indirectly on the Malay world or which were found to be of importance and of use to researchers, as shown in Section B, were also collected. To date 17 subject areas are covered which may grow in accordance with the needs of time.
