The International Review of Social History (IRSH) is one of the leading journals in the field of social history, in particular in the history of work, workers, and labour relations defined in the broadest possible sense.

Editorial Policy

The TSEG journal is published four times a year and offers scholarly articles on a broad range of topics from the social and economic history of the Low Countries. 

The IRSH aims to be truly global in scope and stresses the need for a comparative perspective that acknowledges the interrelationship of historical change and the phenomena and factors underlying that change.
