About IALHI Serials Service

The Labour History Serials Service, maintained 1997-2013, includes 3.980 issues from 128 labour history journals. You can search for articles and browse the contents of each journal.

The original Mission Statement:

Labour History Serials Service is a not-for-profit project in which several libraries in the field of labour history participate. The service adds the tables of contents from the serials to an online database that can be searched and browsed. As a further service, individual users can request photocopies of articles for research purposes from the library holding the serial. This service is an extension of the traditional on-site service in which patrons can make or order photocopies for individual use. Downloadable digital copies of articles are not offered in the Labour History Serials Service.

The price of the photocopies is determined by the library that receives the order. In most cases it will be that library´s normal price for photocopying plus postage, which covers the cost of making and sending the copies, but not maintenance of the database, nor does it include any amount above the basic service cost.
We believe that the Labour History Serials Service falls well within the concept of fair use, but copyright and fair use regulations vary from country to country. Each participating library is subject to the copyright regulations of its country and so is the photocopy service they may offer. For more information about ordering and receiving photocopies, prices, numbers of copies per request, etc., please contact the library holding the journal you are interested in.
Labour History Serials Service is hosted by the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam.

The members of IALHI have posted the tables of contents of the serials listed below, starting with January 1, 1997. For research purposes, photocopies of articles can be requested from the institute that holds the serial. Each of the participating institutes will also be responsible for these particular periodicals to complete the collections.
