The Latin America and Caribbean Network on Labour History is a website that has been launched in three languages, English, Spanish and Portuguese.
The website aims to:
- Present scholarly work from different parts of the world (mainly United States, Europe and Latin America) on labour and workers in Latin America and the Caribbean from the16th to the 21st century.
- Provide information about archives and collections on labour history and the history of workers.
- Link people and topics in Latin American History that are often not connected such as slaves of African origin and indigenous workers; free, unfree, and wage labour; labour and migration, women's and child labour.
- Connect scholars who speak different languages like Spanish and Portuguese, English and French.
- Connect scholars from the North and the South as well as within the South.
- Forge links between labour historians researching different historical periods.
The aim of the Network is to “build a community network of scholars who do research on Latin American and Caribbean Labour History from the 16th century until the present”. It provides a database of almost 900 articles from leading journals on Labour History and on broad issues related to this topic. It also contains information about collections and archives for the study of labour and workers in Latin America. The Website is hosted by the International Institute for Social History.
