German Trade Unions and SPD documents

Ann: new online resource from the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung

The "Programmatische Dokumente und Statuten der deutschen Gewerkschaftsbewegung und der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands" (Programmatic Documents and Statutes of the German Trade Union Movement and the Social Democratic Party of Germany) are presenting in full text the programmatic positions of the German social democracy and trade union movement since their beginnings in the 19th century. The project was realized with the support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinnschaft (DFG). The database will be found under the following url: [url]http://library.fes.de/cgi-bin/populo/prodok.pl[/url]

More than 1.200 programs, thematic leaflets and statutes are digitalized in a first step. They are presented and can be researched under different ways: by time, under organisational view or in free combination of search terms (keyword, subject word, title, organization, person or publication year). In a second step the database will be complemented by other full text documents. All comments are in German language.
