The International Institute of Social History (IISH) was founded in 1935. It is one of the world's largest documentary (archives & library) and research institutions in the field of social history in general and the history of the labour movement in particular. Most of the collections are open to the public.

The International Review of Social History is published for the IISH by Cambridge University Press. The Tijdschrift voor Sociale en Economische Geschiedenis is published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP). See

IISH research focuses on the transnational and transcontinental study of labour, labour relations and workers' social movements in the broadest sense of the word.
