<![CDATA[This article discusses the inventory efforts of the Keratuan Darah Putih heritage as a strategic step in preserving the collective memory of the indigenous Lampung community. Keratuan Darah Putih is one of the oldest customary kingdoms in Lampung, rich in historical, cultural, and spiritual values. Unfortunately, many of its historical legacies ranging from buildings and ancient manuscripts to oral traditions remain undocumented and are experiencing a decline in significance due to a lack of youth interest and the pressures of modernization. This study employs a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, royal descendants, and local community members. The findings reveal that the kingdom's heritage serves not only as a symbol of identity but also as a medium for sustaining collective memory and the transmission of noble values within Lampung society. Inventory efforts are crucial not only for cultural preservation but also for social restoration and the reinforcement of an authentic local historical narrative. Therefore, a synergistic collaboration between indigenous communities, scholars, and government bodies is essential to develop a participatory-based cultural heritage database that ensures the sustainability of this collective memory across generations.]]>
