The Faculty of Recording Media Arts (FSMR) ISI Yogyakarta carried out digitization activities of the Haji Widayat Museum collection in Mungkid, Magelang, from January to June 2025. This digitization activity was carried out as a real contribution to the preservation of national cultural heritage and the implementation of the program Impactful CampusThis is the reason why universities are encouraged to be present and contribute directly to society.
