Abstract

History learning with a national perspective plays an important role in shaping national awareness and increasing love for the homeland among students. One of the historical events that has high national value is the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence on August 17, 1945. The Mendur Brothers, as photojournalists who documented the moments of the proclamation, made a major contribution to immortalizing this historic moment. Through a visual source-based approach, this study aims to analyze the role of Mendur Brothers' photography in history learning in schools. This research method uses a Literature Study study, namely discussions or reading materials related to a topic or findings in the research. (Wekke, 2019). In this case, the literature study utilizes articles, websites, and learning videos to be the main material regarding the role of Mendur Brothers in documenting the Proclamation event. The results of the study show that Mendur Brothers' photos not only function as authentic historical evidence, but can also increase students' understanding of the proclamation event and build national awareness. By integrating historical photography into learning, students are better able to appreciate the nation's struggle and foster an attitude of nationalism.
