THE BOOK Kronik Tanoh Barus by Zeffry Alkatiri, published by CV Alur in January 2026, is not merely a collection of historical writings. It is an effort to save collective memory about an old region that once played an important role in the course of world civilization.

Originating from writings previously published on the website [ceritarempahbarus.org], a platform that brought together research, documentation, and public education, this book serves as a re-archiving of knowledge that might otherwise have faded after the website stopped operating.
