Mahidol University Archives and Museums Collections DSpace Digital Repository

Overview

Mahidol University Archives and Museums Collections is the digital DSpace repository operated by the Archives and Museums Department of Mahidol University Library and Knowledge Center (LKC). It provides online access to three integrated databases: the Mahidol University Archives (institutional records and documents), the Mahidol University Museums collections (artifact and museum object records), and Mahidol University Heritage (heritage site and building records). Together these collections document the full institutional, cultural, and physical heritage of Mahidol University.

Background

The digital collections repository was launched to complement the physical archives and museum holdings of the Archives and Museums Department, established in 1992. The DSpace platform was adopted to enable digital preservation and global scholarly access. The repository was made accessible online at archive.li.mahidol.ac.th.

Collections and Holdings

The repository contains three main sub-collections:

• Mahidol University Archives: Administrative documents, correspondence, announcements, and institutional records.
• Mahidol University Museums: Digital records of museum objects and collections held across the university's 20+ museum facilities.
• Mahidol University Heritage: Records of campus buildings, facilities, and heritage sites across Mahidol's campuses.

Access and Usage

The DSpace repository is publicly accessible online in both Thai and English. Browsing by issue date, authors, titles, subjects, and resource types is supported. Mahidol University account holders have additional access to e-databases.
