Amsab-ISG

About

Amsab Institute for Social History (Amsab-ISG) is an archive and research centre with social and humanitarian movements as a research object. New social movements such as the environmental movement are also being considered. It was founded in 1980 and aims to preserve, manage, unlock, research and make the Belgian social past accessible to a wide audience. In 1991 Belgian archives were discovered in Moscow, which were stolen by the Germans during World War II and subsequently transported to the Soviet Union. These were transferred to the then AMSAB (Archive and Museum of the Socialist Workers' Movement). The Amsab-ISG publishes the magazine Bread & Roses. It publishes articles, reports, photo reports, etc. on the history of social movements in Flanders, Belgium and other countries. Amsab-ISG is based in Ghent. Until 2014, there was also a reading room in Antwerp.
