Abstract

Social history studies in North Sumatra still rarely use historical research methods. In general, the social history in North Sumatra is written by sociologists, so the methods and models used by social research methods are not historical methods. This resulted in the object being studied only the structure of the community while the change of society over time was neglected. This paper wants to examine the factors causing the low historical studies conducted by historians in North Sumatra, mapping the focus of social history studies in North Sumatra and applying the social history research model in the study of history in North Sumatra. The method used is a historical method that includes four stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and explanation. The sources used are in the form of written and oral sources. Writing sources in the form of literature both books and journals. While for oral sources, interviews were used. The approach used to answer the problems in this study is a multidisciplinary approach. Based on the results of the study concluded that the study of social history in Sumatra can be studied using social history research models. In the history of the social revolution in East Sumatra can be analyzed using a model of the level of development. Another model that is also suitable for social history studies in North Sumatra is a systematic model. This model can be used to examine the history of the social life of plantation workers in East Sumatra.
