Become part of the Amsab Institute for Social History team
Amsab-ISG is the memory of social movements and socially engaged individuals who are fighting injustice and inequality. In their quest for equality, sustainability, and a better quality of life, themes such as labor, the environment, migration, gender, human rights, and global justice are central.
As a cultural archive, we are committed to preserving and protecting the heritage of these movements: letters, reports, posters, photos, films, books, but also digital archives and much more. Through research, publications, our magazine "Brood & Rozen," exhibitions, and other public projects, we bring the often-unseen hidden histories behind this heritage to light.
