Abstract
Libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) as memory institutions share valuable existence to preserve advanced national cultural heritage. Various causes drove LAM convergence in various cases. The Bung Karno Library in Blitar City, one of the Presidential Libraries in the Republic of Indonesia, helps explain the memory institution's convergence. The case studies indicate that collaboration and convergence face shared challenges. The authors propose that collaboration between these organizations is complicated. In the Bung Karno Library, cohesive procedure and accessibility were essential to service the user. However, removing boundaries between memory institutions in Bung Karno Library was universally accepted as necessary to improve user service and promote cultural heritage. These actions might lead to future research and boost the convergence's worth. To balance professional capability and integrate multiple systems, the researched institutions are making significant efforts. A fine balance appears needed to achieve and maintain successful convergence initiatives.
