So far, a lot of research has only been stored in libraries, dusty and weathered and just gone. More student research results, in addition to the large quantity, are also quite varied and inspiring. The Journal of Kronologi seeks to bridge this. The results of students' final research are both related to history and research related to history education. All of them are seen as worthy of publication. Journal of Kronologi as the container. Not only the results of research by history students of Padang State University but broadly the results of final research of students from all universities in Indonesia.</p> en-US ridhobayuyefter@fis.unp.ac.id (Ridho Bayu Yefterson) uunlionar@fis.unp.ac.id (Uun Lionar) Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:18:19 +0000 OJS 3.1.1.2 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://kronologi.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/jk/article/view/1079 <p><em>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. </em></p> Meilinda Sri Wahyuni, Najmi Najmi ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://kronologi.ppj.unp.ac.id/index.php/jk/article/view/1079 Tue, 28 Jul 2026 23:18:44 +0000
