The IISH conducts advanced research on the global history of work, workers, and labour relations and to this end gathers data, which are made available to other researchers as well.

In addition to its core mission the Institute is active in the area of scholarly publications: journals, books, and, increasingly, online open access publications.

Both the Labour Movement Archives and Library (Arbetarrörelsens arkiv och bibliotek, Huddinge, Sweden) and the Swiss Social Archive (Schweizerisches Sozialarchiv, Zürich, Switzerland) recently appointed a new director.

In Sweden, Nina Sjöberg succeeds Lars Ilshammar, and in Switzerland Christian Koller succeeds Anita Ulrich.
