Amsab-ISG is the memory of the social movements in Flanders and Belgium, from the mid-19th century to the present.
Our collection focuses on important themes such as labour, environment, migration, gender, human rights and global justice. It includes archives of trade unions, political parties, mutuals, NGOs, cultural organisations and committed artists. The heritage consists of archive files, library collections, audiovisual material, art and intangible heritage - increasingly in digital form.
