Das Prinzip Solidarität - Zur Geschichte der Roten Hilfe in der BRD (2 Bände)

Buch in zwei Bänden im November 2013 erschienen, drei Artikel und viele Digitalisate sind online

In den 70er Jahren gab es in der Bundesrepublik und Westberlin etwa hundert Gruppen der Roten Hilfe. Als engagierter Teil einer linksradikalen Fundamentalopposition organisierten sie Teach-ins, medizinische Hilfe und Demonstrationen, studierten das Mietrecht, besuchten Gefangene in den Knästen, schickten ihnen Pakete und besetzten Häuser.

A new and extensive database is available for all those who want to find out in which cities and for what kind of employment Dutch Trade Unions appeared.

In the Netherlands we nowadays count a huge number of Trade Union Federations, as well as a few dozens of non-affiliated Unions.

There is a big ongoing debate about the Trade Union's future rationale of existence. No matter one’s point of view, good knowledge of the history of Trade Unionism is indispensable in forming an opinion.

For scholars interested in researching the history of child labor, The Filson Historical Society holds the Frances Ingram papers.
