About the collection

Amsab-ISG is the memory of the social movements in Flanders and Belgium, from the mid-19th century to the present day.

Our collection focuses on important themes such as labor, the environment, migration, gender, human rights, and global justice. It includes archives from trade unions, political parties, health insurance funds, NGOs, cultural organizations, and engaged artists. Our heritage comprises archival files, library collections, audiovisual materials, art, and intangible heritage—increasingly in digital form.
