Leiden University Libraries Digital Collections

The Archive of the Oral History Project of the Chinese Indonesian Heritage Center (CIHC) contains 78 digital audio-files of interviews with Chinese people from Indonesia, more than 110 hours in total, including digital summaries to the interviews.
The Chinese Indonesian Heritage Center (CIHC) came into existence in 2011 under the umbrella of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) in Leiden. The CIHC aims to preserve the cultural heritage of the Indonesian Chinese in the Netherlands and strives to document, enhance and promote the knowledge of their (migration) history. Since 2016 the CIHC has been operating as an independent foundation, the Stichting Chinese Indonesian Heritage Center.
