The Indonesian Sugar Research Institute (ISRI/P3GI) is a research institute founded in Pasuruan City by sugar industrialists on 9 July 1887, originally named Proefstation Suikerriet Oost Java. ISRI has been the spearhead in the development of the sugar industry, especially in Asia-Pacific, playing a big role in the development of sugar dynamics in the world, one of which is the discovery of the strain POJ 2878 which has been grown worldwide. The Indonesian Sugar Archive describes the process of building a scientifically based sugar industry, showing the importance of scientific research as a pillar of the world sugar industry, especially since the last decades of the 19th century. The archives of the proposed sugar research institute are kept by the East Java Provincial Government through the Library and Archives Service, and partly by the Indonesian Sugar Research Institute (ISRI/P3GI) itself. They contain information on the results of long-standing international collaboration between sugar research institutions, the scientific basis for world commercial sugar production, sugar research, technological developments, international cooperation, and the latest discoveries related to the world sugar industry. The ISRI archives now inscribed are in the form of textual and photographic archives totalling 174 series, stored at the East Java Province Library and Archives Service and at ISRI’s Library.
