NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE MALAYSIAN AREA; WITH A UNION LIST OF LOCAL HOLDINGS by P. LIM Pur HUEN INTRODUcnON

This is an attempt to list together all the newspapers known to have been published in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei up to the present. It also li'Sts the holdings of the major Malaysian and Singapore collections and, in the absence of local holdings, those of the British Museum. It is therefore both a bibliography as well as a Union List of Malaysian and Singapore newspapers. There are several regrets regarding this list. Firstly. the work of compilation has taken some time and it has not been possible to re-check all entries for accuracy and up-dating the record. The holdings of the largest collections however. have been revised. that is. those of the National Archives of Malaysia. Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka. National Library of Si-ngapore. University of Malaya Library and University of Singapore Library. Secondly, a number of institutions have not participated in the project. The most important omissions are the Sarawak Museum and the Straits Times Press both of which have valuable holdings. Others are Nanyang University Library, Sarawak Library and Sabah Central Library. Thirdly. it has not been possible to trace the bibliographic information about every title. There are too many gaps and question marks in our knowledge of these newspapers. While the date of publication can often be found, the date ceased is extremely difficult to verify. This is therefore, only a preliminary listing. More work is needed before a more complete list can be obtained. A union list is generally thought of as a finding aid to locate a particular title or specific issues of a title. But the ultimate function of a union list is that by displaying the area's holdings together. it is possible to survey the total resources available and enable joint and co-operative schemes to enrich these resources. No sing]e collection can satisfy all the needs of any one research scholar and it ias necessary to think in terms of what is available in the country or region. Malaysia and Singapore in many ways fonn one bibliographical unit although centred round two poles. Since newspapers are important primary historical sources, our aim should be the total and complete coverage of all local newspapers within the Malaysia I Singapore area, or more specifically. between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. We should be concerned with their acquisition, storage, preservation and microfilming on a co-operative scale so that we may supplement and complement each other's collection. Legal deposit by which one or more copies of each publication are deposited in one or more designated- depositories through the operation of law, is the modem device used to ensure that the nation's literary output is preserved. Whether the coverage is comprehensive . and complete depends on how carefully the legislation has been drafted and how thoroughly it is enforced. There is an excellent account of the pre-war situation in a thesis submitted to the University of London School of Librarianship and Archives by Lim U Wen. The post-war situation has been described in an unpublished paper by Isobel Andrews. I am indebted to both. L~al deposit in Malaya dates from the Straits Settlements Book Registration Ordmance of 1886. Of the copi-es deposited, one was sent to the British Museum but the local depository was not named although in practice it was the Raffles

Library. The Perak Book Registration Order in Council of 1895 and the Selangor Book Registration Enactment of 1898 both required a copy to be deposited 'i n the British Museum and an additional copy in the Perak Museum and Selangor Museum respectively. These were repealed by the Federated Malay States Printing and Books Enactment of 1915 which consolidated existing legislation and made the Se1angor Museum the local depository. Of the Unfederated Malay States, only Johore provided for legal deposit through its Printing and Publication Enactment of 1931. Three copies were required to be deposited, one was sent to the British Museum. one to Raffles Library and one to the Superintendent of Education, Johore. Legal deposit does not ensure preservation unless the law requires the depository to retain and preserve the material in good condition. The pre-war legislation did not satisfy this requirement and it is an open question as to how systematically they were enforced. Certainly they were enacted with the view towards censorship and the control of printing rather than preservation. After the war, the Federation of Malaya enacted. its Preservation of Books Ordinance in 1950 and Singapore its Pnnters and Publishers Ordinance in 1952 by which the National Archives of Malaya and Jhe National Library of Singapore became. the respective depositories. However, due to ambiguities in both laws, many publications escaped the net. For a period from about 1959, the National Archives was inexplicably required to distribute all three copies received including one to the British Museum. The University in Singapore and later the University in Kuala Lumpur both benefited from deposit legislation but without the obligati·on to retain all material received. Sarawak passed its Sarawak Museum (Deposit Library) Ordinance in 1961 and one copy again was sent to the British Museum. Sabah however, was not covered untii the Malaysian act was enacted. Right up to this time, the British Museum appears to have been the most consistent recipient and it can be seen from this list that it holds many titles not available locally at all. In the lack of other information, we may assume that its holdings are complete. or as complete as can be expected. Microfilm copies of these newspapers should be obtained to complete the local collections. In 1960 Singapore amended its Printers and Publishers Ordinance subsequently followed by Malaysia's Preservation of Books Act, 1966. They each filled up loopholes in the earlier laws and jointly ensured that every publication printed is deposited either in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Therefore. it is only from J%6 onwards that we can be absolutely certain that a copy of every newspaper has been preserved in a local depository. Prior to that date, there would be many gaps in the local holdings as can be seen from a study of this list. Back sets of newspapers are extremely difficult to obtain. Newspaper offices simply do not keep old issues and if the newspaper is closed and out-of-print the situation becomes much worse. To begin with. we have to established what has been published which I have attempted to do. For pre-war newspapers, we have the assistance of Makepeace, Buckley, Song Ong Siang, Roff, Chen Mong Hock and the three University of Malaya academic exercised by Nik Ahmad, Burns and Kanayson . For post-war newspapers, the various annual reports list the titles in print during the year and often noted new titles begun or old titles ceased. It is disappointing that the Malaysian Official Year Book is not equally complete while the Singapore Year Book gives no titles at alL A bibliography by Liu Tzu Cheng in v. 13 of the South Seas Society Journal listed over 80 titles not held by any institution which is a substantial quantity of material presumably lost. Another body of material whose location is not known are the Borneo newspapers. It is hoped that some of them have been preserved in the Sarawak Museum. at least those that date from legal deposit in 1961.

An organized attempt should be made to trace all these back sets that may be in private bands. It is possible that the former editors and proprietors may still have retained copies. We should try to locate the papers. persuade ~he owners to donate them to some institution or to sell the material, and failing this to borrow_ them on indefinite loan or arrange for them to be microfilmed. An exploratory uip to Sabah and Sarawak in particular, could prove worthwhile. The ravages of climate and insects together with the deterioration of newsprint make the project one of some urgency. Where the newspapers are to be located is not as important as seeing that they are preserved and making them available on microfilm. Preservation in the tropics means air-conditioned storage under humidity control and with regular inspections for termite activity. Newspaper volumes are much larger and bulkier and takes up much more space than ordinary books; storage is therefore expensive. Bearing in mind that the National Library of Singapore and the National Archives of Malaysia have archival obligations by law, other institutions should coordinate their storage programmes in relation to these two depositories. Space is too valuable for duplicate and triplicate bound sets to be kept here and there. Storage and microfilming are related aspects of the problem of preservation. Although there has yet to be the scholar who prefers the microfilm to the bound volume. photographic reproduction is nevertheless a great boon to research. By the very fact of their bulk and the impermanency of newsprint. newspapers are obvious material for microfilming. Microfilming programmes may be commercial or non-commercial. There are now many firms that specialize in microform publishing. Those that are interested in the publication of historical material are : Readex Microprint, Micro Methods, University Microfilms, Inter Documentation Company, Research Publications. Inc.• and the Micro Photo Division of Bell & Howell. There are others that concentrate on a few large sets only such as the Recordak Division of Kodak which publishes the complete set of the London Times. All these "publications" are advertised and listed in trade catalocues and may be purchased through normal commercial channels in the same way as books. A notable event is the recent publication of the Straits Times, 1883-1942, by Micro Methods. The films were prepared from the holdings of the British Museum. Publication of the pre-1883 issues is being contemplated depending on demand. This firm also published the Prince of Wales Island Gautte and the Singapore Chronicl~. It bas an active newspaper microfilming programme, up to the present. mainly of South Asian titles. It also offers a consortium scheme by which institutions interested in the same material may take advantage of savings in shared production costs. Work begins when one member (in the case of large sets. two members) places his order. The largest producer of newspaper microfilm. probably in the whole world. is the Micro Photo Division of Bell & Howell. It boasts master negatives of over 500 million pages of newspapers and produces 3 million microfilm pages per month. As it is an American firm. its main programme is taken up with American papers. However. it lists over 250 foreign titles in its 1967-1968 catalogue Newspapers on Microfilm including a number of Southeast Asian papers. An important feature of its service is the continuous filming of current papers as they are issued. The Berita Harian and Berita Minggu, Borneo Bulletin, Borneo Times, Malay Mail, Sabah Times. Sarawak Trihune and Straits Budget are regularly filmed as part of this service. As can be expected there is a time gap between the date of publication and the date of filming so that many libraries subscribe to both the paper and the film . Micro Photo claims that the film subscription is lower than the cost of binding which may well be so in America and has the ·a dded advantage of savings in space.

Tbe same issues of tbe Sabah Times, Sart7tVak Tribune and Straits B~t have also been microfilmed by another firm Research Publications, Inc. Professor M. A. Jaspan's recent list South Eart Asia compiled for tbe Inter l>ocumentation Company as the basis of their long term microfilm publication programme included the Berita Harian , Pinang Gazette, Straits Times and Utusan Melayu. The National Library of Singapore is already filming many of their current subscriptions-all pointed reminders of the necessity of coordinating microfilming programmes. Many libraries, archives and research institutes have photographic facilities. Into category of non-commercially produced films. falls the activities of these Microfilm Units which are operated to support the functions and research programmes of the institution. Production is therefore scheduled to its own needs and orders from other institutions are regarded and accepted as part of its contribution to international scholarship and academic cooperation. Orders are generally supplied on individual requests and at prices below commercial rates. However. some of the very large organizations such as the Public Record Office and the American Archives and Records Service, by the very volume of their turnover, are operating close to commercial scale. The operations of non-commercial Microfilm Units are usually quite flexible and · are adjusted as required. Exchanges are common. not only exchanges of material but exchanges of service. Cooperative schemes can also be arranged, several institutions sharing the cost of the expensive negative and each receiving a positive copy. An example is the filming of the North Borneo Herald and Official Gazette, 1883-1941, by the Public Record Office for a consortium initiated by the University of Singapore Library. The Foreign Newspaper Microfilm Project of the Center for Research Libraries in Chicago is a major long term cooperative endeavour aimed at providing a national pool of current foreign newspapers beginning generally with 1956 issues. Cooperative schemes are important because they enable the filming of large projects which a single institution may find it difticult to undertake. Cooperation can also take the form of coordinating filming programmes. For instance, there are Microfilm Units in the National Library of Singapore. University of Singapore Library, University of Malaya Library, National Archives of Malaysia and Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka while the Sarawak Museum makes WJe of tbe Unit in the Survey Department. Kuching. Their programmes should be coordinated to prevent wasteful duplication and to ensure filming of all retrospective material and continuous filming of current issues. The Library Association of Malaysia and tbe Library Association of Singapore have set up a joint SubCommittee on Microforms for this purpose. In this paper. I have endeavoured to survey the situation regarding one category of historical material and · indicate possible steps to enrich these sources and improve on their availability for research. Although I have looked at the problem from a Sinppore/Malaysia point of view, any enhancement of local resources would facili&ate access to an enlarged volume of research material for all scholars. The spelling of non-English titles have been taken from the newspapers themselves whenever possible. The titles in the original script are those that have been verified against the newspapers. The English form of the title has been preferred wherever one exists. Where transliteration is required. the Chinese titles have been spelt according to the modified Wade-Giles system in Mathews' ChineseEnglish Dicti0111ry and the Malay titles according to Za•ba. In the case of the Chinese papers. this means that some titles have been transliterated according to ibe dialectic pronounciation and some according to the Kuo-yti (Mandarin) proriounciatioa.
