The Private Papers of Baginda Omar (1839-1876) (ANM SP 6) held by the Arkib Negara Malaysia constitutes one of the most important accessible primary sources of historical information available on the socio-political and economic development of Terengganu Darul Iman in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inscribed as the fifteenth tangible heritage object in the National Heritage Department of Malaysia's (Jabatan Warisan Negara Malaysia) National Heritage List (Senarai Warisan Kebangsaan), these royal letters have been preserved, in various forms, by the National Archives of Malaysia (Arkib Negara Malaysia) at their headquarters in Kuala Lumpur since 1960. With fifty-five original letters and one official proclamation written in Malay-Jawi, the core documents in this collection consist of official and private correspondence from the personal archives of Baginda Omar, Sultan T'erengganu IX (1806-1876) and a smaller cache of similar letters from Sultan Zainal Abidin III, Sultan Terengganu XI (1866-1918). They were bequeathed to the nation by the heirs of al-Marhum Engku Pengiran Anum (1888-1963), co-discoverer of the Batu Bersurat Terengganu. His grandfather, Shaykhul 'Ulama’ Tok Ku Tuan Besar Paduka Indera Engku Syed Seri Perdana Engku Syed Muhammad (1795-1878), had served as Menteri Besar to Baginda Omar.
This study is the first comprehensive attempt at rasionalising the complexity of this challenging collection, by presenting its principal material in a systematic and coherent manner. This publication has been divided into two parts. Volume I provides an introduction to the collection and its main subject, with a critical transliteration and annotated translation of the original Malay-Jawi documents. Volume II offers a descriptive catalogue to the collection, plus a diplomatic transliteration of the Malay-Jawi letters. It is hoped that this preliminary examination of the letters will provide the basis and impetus for further studies to be made of the collection.
