History

Amsab-ISG has a rich history dating back long before its official founding. What began as a modest initiative within the socialist movement has grown into an independent institute for social history with a broad perspective. From a party archive, Amsab-ISG has evolved into an open house for the heritage of social movements and civic engagement in all its forms.
