This sixth issue of On the Waterfront once again contains 16 pages about the Friends’ gathering on 19 December 2002. All this space is necessary to include – as part of the general meeting – the first reports from the research projects that are possible thanks to the Friends:

• Work, Income and the State in Russia and the Soviet Union, 1900-2000
• Women’s labour in the Netherlands during the early modern period (ca. 1500-1815).

Though fairly brief, these annual reports accurately convey the operations performed. In addition to these concise annual reports that will appear in the June issues of On the Waterfront until the projects conclude, more substantive and even vibrant reports will be published in the December issues of On the Waterfront.

Like last year, you will find a financial annual report in this issue as well, although we hope this one will be more informative than the initial one was.

Finally, the new acquisitions presented last December will be reviewed.
