Sixth European Social Science History Conference
RAI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22-25 March 2006

The ESSHC aims at bringing together scholars interested in explaining historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences. The conference is characterized by a lively exchange in many small groups, rather than by formal plenary sessions.

The Samuel Gompers Papers project invites you to visit our new and improved website at www.history.umd.edu/Gompers/index.htm.

In the true Gompers' fashion of "more, more, more" it offers more documents, more information, and more opportunities for students and teachers to use primary documents in the classroom.

Highlights include
