The Archive of Yogyakarta is almost unique among Asian document
collections, and one cannot overestimate its significance for
scholarly research into the history of Java. It forms a single
corpus of records produced by the Sultan of Yogyakarta's government
between 1786 and 1812, dealing with the allocation of the realm's
scarce resources of men and materials. There are royal
appointments, registers of the realm's physical resources,
retrenchment orders, lists of military contingents, and court
correspondence - but these are vastly overshadowed by an
incomparable set of local accountancy records, ranging from yearly
balance sheets, through receipts of tolls, taxation lists, and debt
letters, to allowances for the royal family and imposts for
ceremonial feasts. Complementing Volume 1 (1980), which published
selected documents of political importance, Volume II considers the
Archive as a whole and what it reveals about the government and the
economy of Yogyakarta. Transliterations of the Javanese originals
are accompanied by English synopses and notes.
