About ELHN

The European Labour History Network (ELHN) is a network of European researchers in labour and social history. It was founded in 2013 in Amsterdam.

ELHN is coordinated by a committee that has regular meetings, usually once or twice a year, supported by the International Institute of Social History (IISG).

It is organized around working groups consisting of researchers working on the same topics or in the same area. Approximately 20 working groups are or have been active within the network so far. If you are interested in participating please contact the working group coordinator.

ELHN organizes an international conference every two years, in close collaboration with a local organizer. The conference hosts a number of sessions organized by the ELHN working groups with contributions from around the world.
