New audio recordings from DKP (Communist Party Denmark)'s Central Committee meetings

Instead of preparing minutes of meetings decided the Danish Communist Party's highest authority between party congresses, the Central Committee, in 1963 to record them on tape. This practice continued up until 1991. Since then, the tapes were transferred to the Labour Movement Library and Archives along with the rest of the batch file.

As part of the preservation and making available of the recordings they have been digitized and is now possible to present the second part of the meetings. The first part was available in the autumn of 2011.

The Labor Movement and Social Movements, June 2014, Alberta, Canada

The Labor Movement has a long history of working alongside or against a wide variety of other social and political movements: from the anti-Fascist popular front to the Latin American solidarity campaigns of the 1970s and 1980s, from the women's movement to LGBTQ movement today, from anti-nukes to environmental movements, from human rights campaigns in the 1940s and 1950s to Idle No More today. The Alberta Labor History Institute (ALHI) conference of 18-21 June, 2014, wants to investigate this past, present and future of labor's interaction with other social movements.
