The purpose of this paper is to extend and share knowledge and information crucial to developing knowledge societies. Increasing the universal access to information in various domains is the key to enhance sustainable socio-economic development, building peace, and channelling intercultural communication. A pilot study was conducted using a case study approach and integrating two perspectives of knowledge value: the success of scholarly communication and knowledge sharing value for the scientific heritage archive. This study captures the research in the field of library and archival sciences, and embarks on the consideration that Leiden University in The Netherlands and Universitas Padjadjaran in Bandung, Indonesia as long-time counterpart and significant memory institutions share interests in the preservation, access and promotion of the important, yet not fully disclosed scientific heritage archive at LEAD for safeguarding this cultural legacy for present and future generations in both countries. This is a follow-up study of First Phase, and the current phase involved the ordering of over 40.000 documents and the digitisation of more than 40.000 catalogue cards. The research encompasses the conceptual model for knowledge network development with a view to contributing to its overall preservation and universal access.
