| This paper focuses on the documentation approach in recording songket, where previous research has placed too much emphasis on analyzing only the craft; and misinterpreting the craft as an object rather than a representation of a community. As a response, the researcher modified the viewpoint in documenting the craft into a record on songket as a community; a visual ethnographic documentation on Songket Rajang was carried out. For this study, a visual ethnographic approach was utilized to record the Songket Rajang manufacturing process as a binder in the community, and both observation methods were employed throughout the documentation: participant observation method and non-participant method. As a results, the researchers were able to capture Songket Rajang more successfully utilizing visual ethnographic techniques, without disregarding traditional songket craft art, while also displaying Songket Rajang as a symbol of communal togetherness.
