Meilinda Sri Wahyuni, Najmi Najmi — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:18:44 +0000

This study examines the development of the Javanese migrant organization, Paguyuban Perantau Jawa (PAPERJA), in the city of Bukittinggi and Agam Regency from 1980 to 2025. The study aims to explain the background of PAPERJA’s formation and its development during that period. The research method employed is the historical method, which consists of four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. During the heuristic stage, data were collected through interviews, archives, documentation, and membership records. The source criticism stage was conducted to assess the validity of the obtained sources. The interpretation stage was used to analyze and connect historical facts chronologically, while the historiography stage involved the systematic writing of the research findings. The results indicate that PAPERJA was formed as a unifying platform for Javanese migrants and experienced significant development through 2025. This development was marked by leadership transitions, an increase in membership, the expansion of the organization’s territory, and the growth of social activities such as disaster relief, community celebrations, religious study groups, the management of communal graves, and the establishment of cooperatives. PAPERJA plays a vital role in strengthening solidarity and a sense of community among the Javanese migrant community in Bukittinggi City and Agam Regency.

Azizul Rahman, Siti Fatimah — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 14:24:03 +0000

This study examines the urole of a local ulama in the development of the Naqshbandiyah order in Nagari Koto Baru, Sngai Tarab District, Tanah Datar Regency, with particular attention to Syekh Imam Mahyudin al-Khalidi. Previous studies have generally examined the order at the regional level or focused on prominent figures, leaving the role of nagari-level religious leaders in the contemporary period underexplored. This study traces Syekh Imam Mahyudin’s life and scholarly genealogy and analyzes his role in developing the order between 1978 and 2023. The historical method was employed through four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected from interviews with six informants, family documents, photographs, the Surau Talang endowment document, and relevant literature. The findings indicate that Syekh Imam Mahyudin assumed the leadership of Surau Talang in 1978 after receiving a mandate from his teacher, Syekh Abdurrahman Malin Batuah, whose scholarly lineage was connected to Syekh Abdurrahman al-Khalidi, known as Syekh Kumango. He maintained the order’s principal religious activities while developing adaptive forms of community engagement through Silat Kumango and the Al-Badriah shalawat group. These approaches enabled Surau Talang to engage congregants from diverse social backgrounds and supported the continuity of the Naqshbandiyah order and its religious activities until his death in 2023.

Aulia Cahya Ningrum, Hendra Naldi — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 08:44:57 +0000

This study aims to trace Nurcaya’s life journey in developing the Kopi Nur business in Sungai Penuh. The author was motivated to write Nurcaya’s biography because she played a significant role in establishing a sustainable business based on local potential, whilst also enhancing the economic well-being of her family and the surrounding community. The research methodology employed was the historical method, comprising four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation and historiography. The research findings show that Nurcaya started the Kopi Nur business on a modest scale in 1959. The development of the Kopi Nur business was marked by the expansion of marketing to the Pesisir Selatan through a credit system that began in the 1960s, packaging innovations involving the application of the ‘Nur’ brand in the 1980s, the employment of eight staff members in 1984, and a strategic decision following the 1995 Tanjung Bajure market fire not to produce coffee that had been exposed to smoke and water in order to preserve its flavour. In 2015, the elderly Nurcaya was assisted by her youngest son, Zefri Edison, in developing Kopi Nur by obtaining halal certification, securing a patent, launching social media promotions, and marketing into Malaysia.

Dinamika Transformasi Madrasah Diniyah Pasia ke Pondok Pesantren dalam Periode 1978–2025

Bayu Alamsyah, Siti Fatimah — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 02:01:19 +0000

Institutional transformation has become an important strategy for Islamic educational institutions to maintain their existence while adapting to social dynamics and national educational policies. Although studies on the development of Islamic boarding schools have been widely conducted, research that specifically examines the historical transformation from a madrasah into a modern Islamic boarding school at the local level remains limited. This study examines the transformation of Madrasah Diniyyah Pasia in Nagari Pasia, Ampek Angkek Candung District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, into Pondok Pesantren Modern Diniyyah Pasia. The study aims to analyze the background, dynamics, and driving factors behind this institutional transformation. The research employs the historical method consisting of four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through institutional archives, historical documents, related literature, and interviews with institutional leaders, alumni, and local community members. The results reveal that the institutional transformation was influenced by several key factors, including government policies through the Joint Decree of Ministers in 1975 and 1977 regarding Islamic education, the decline in the number of students during a certain period, community demands for improving educational quality, and the strategic role of alumni in encouraging institutional reform and educational system development. The transformation process was not without challenges, particularly financial constraints and the need to adapt to a more modern educational system. Nevertheless, in 1992 the institution was officially transformed into Pondok Pesantren Modern Diniyyah Pasia and has continued to develop to the present day. This study contributes to the historiography of Islamic education by highlighting the dynamics of institutional transformation at the local level in responding to social change and educational policy developments.

The aims of this research are to explore the career journey of Rozac Tanjung and to analyze the distinctive characteristics and style of his songwriting. The method used in this study is the historical research method, which consists of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The data were obtained through direct interviews with Rozac Tanjung, as well as interviews with colleagues, singers, and parties who collaborated with him, and by collecting archives and documents directly from his residence. Based on the findings, it is known that Roza Candra, better known as Rozac Tanjung, is one of the maestros of Minangkabau songwriting who has produced approximately 800 works throughout his career. This productivity reflects his dedication, hard work, and consistency in contributing to the Minangkabau music industry. Rozac Tanjung possesses innovative and creative abilities in composing Minangkabau songs.

These characteristics distinguish his works from those of other Minangkabau songwriters and contribute to the attractiveness and acceptance of his songs among listeners.

Transformasi Fungsi dan Peran Museum Perjuangan Tridaya Eka Dharma Bukittinggi Tahun 1973-2025

Gusventio Zulmarta, Etmi Hardi — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Museums function not only as institutions for preserving cultural heritage but also as spaces for shaping collective memory, providing public education, and representing historical narratives. Political changes in Indonesia have significantly influenced the functions and roles of museums, including the Tridaya Eka Dharma Struggle Museum in Bukittinggi, which was established during the New Order era. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the functions and roles of the Tridaya Eka Dharma Struggle Museum from an instrument of political legitimacy to a historical tourism destination during the period of 1973-2024. This research employed the historical method with a qualitative approach, consisting of four stages: heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through archival research, official documents, field observations, interviews, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings reveal that during the period of 1973-1998, the museum functioned as an instrument of political legitimacy by reinforcing the state's official historical narrative concerning the Emergency Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PDRI) and the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI) through the presentation of collections and historical interpretations aligned with New Order policies. During the Reform Era (1999-2010), the museum experienced a paradigm shift from a collection-centered institution to a people-centered institution, leading to the expansion of its educational function in response to democratization and increasing public demand for historical openness. Furthermore, in the period of 2011-2025, the museum strengthened its role as a center for public history education and historical tourism through educational programs, promotional activities, and the gradual adoption of digital media, although challenges remain in terms of funding, human resources, and the digitalization of museum collections. This study concludes that the transformation of the Tridaya Eka Dharma Struggle Museum has been shaped by changes in political regimes, museum policies, and evolving societal needs. These findings demonstrate that the museum has evolved from serving primarily as an instrument of political legitimacy into a public institution that contributes to the preservation of collective memory, history education, and the development of cultural and historical tourism.
