[French version below]

The new issue of the Dutch Journal of Social and Economic History (TSEG, no 1, 2013) opens with a research article by Barbara Henkes on Dutch emigration and South African nation building: Een warm welkom voor blanke nieuwkomers? Nederlandse emigratie en Zuid-Afrikaanse natievorming (1902-1961).

A new web exhibition presents the story of anticonception in France in the 19th and 20th centuries. The anarchists Paul Robin and Jeanne and Eugène Humbert were trailblazers and leaders of the neo-Malthusian debate.

The ideas of both adherents and opponents of birth control are presented in posters, rare and often fragile booklets, pamphlets and letters, mainly from the Jeanne and Eugène Humbert papers at the IISH.
