IISH Research Papers

IISH-Research Papers is a prepublication series inaugurated in 1989 by the International Institute of Social History (IISH) to highlight and promote socio-historical research and scholarship. Through online, open access distribution of these works the IISH hopes to encourage international discussion and exchange. This vehicle of publicizing works in progress or in a prepublication stage is open to all labour and social historians. In this context, research by scholars from outside the IISH can also be disseminated as a Research Paper. Those interested should write to the Publication Department of the IISH, Cruquiusweg at irsh@iisg.nl.

The IISH Research Papers listed here are available to download as PDF. The other volumes in the series are available in the IISH library.
