<![CDATA[This study examines the integration of the GLAM (Gallery, Library, Archive, and Museum) concept as a one stop service framework at the Regional Library and Archives Office) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research is motivated by the growing need for cultural institutions to engage in cross-sectoral collaboration in order to broaden access to historical, artistic, and informational resources. Although the Regional Library and Archives Office) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta currently manages library and archival services, the institution holds considerable potential to expand its role through the development of gallery and museum elements, one example being the Archive Diorama innovation. The study aims to analyze the feasibility of, and challenges associated with, implementing GLAM integration within a single institutional framework at the Regional Library and Archives Office) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving field observation, in depth interviews with key informants namely staff and managers directly involved in the provision of library and archival services as well as the management of cultural collections at the Regional Library and Archives Office) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta and analysis of both primary and secondary documents. Data were analyzed thematically and critically compared with GLAM implementation practices in various other contexts. The interview findings indicate that informants do not yet possess a comprehensive formal understanding of the GLAM concept as an institutional framework, yet they demonstrate openness to future cross-sectoral collaboration opportunities, including plans for a joint temporary exhibition with local artists. The findings reveal that the Regional Library and Archives Office) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta has significant potential to integrate GLAM components, particularly through the development of archive dioramas, art collections, digital services, and public access initiatives. However, institutional constraints, such as the absence of formal recognition of gallery and museum functions, inadequate infrastructure, limited engagement of external stakeholders (including independent museum/gallery managers and artist communities), and fragmented policies pose significant challenges to achieving full integration.
