There is a new website devoted to labor history during the late Ottoman and modern Middle East era. It contains originals and translations of books, articles and contemporary original documents. These materials connect to many issues regarding social and economic and gender studies. The materials may be used at will. The site managers -John Chalcraft of the LSE and Don Quataert, SUNY Binghamton- ask only that you formally acknowledge such use. Moreover, we welcome additions of any materials you may have. Contact either of us at the addresses noted on the site.
