The IWW History Project is now live. Based at the University of Washington, the online project reveals in new ways the rich history of the Industrial Workers of the World during the formative years, 1905-1935. The project has many dimensions, but at the center are interactive maps and datasets that show the geography and density of IWW activism. http://depts.washington.edu/iww

In memory of Klaus Misgeld
It is a sad day for the Arbetarrörelsens arkiv och bibliotek ( Labour Movement Archives and Library).
Klaus Misgeld passed away on 30 October 2015.
For an obituary (in Swedish), see:
The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) is a global network whose objectives are to end sweatshops and to support garment workers in the third world. The CCC’s archive is now with the IISH.
CCC was established in the Netherlands in 1990 and is now active in eleven countries, including Spain, Germany, France, and the UK.
