Original 'About this site' text from 2007:

The Labour History Index project aims to build an integrated, web-based search platform for collection related data from IALHI institutions. The collections these institutions have are from social movements that were generally international. Collections that have similar content are scattered among different institutions. The development of a joint search engine with a user-friendly interface may provide a web resource that is relevant for social historians, other historians, and people with an interest in (social) history worldwide. (more about the project)

This first pilot version of the Labour History Index contains archival finding aids, lists of collections, guides to library holdings, databases on special subjects, web pages, etc. All can be searched from this screen, full text or on document title. You can also choose to search data on a specific kind of material (e.g. archives) or choose to search data from one specific participating institute.

Please note that this platform is still under construction; errors may occur and search results can vary while using this platform in the development phase of the project.
