The annual report 2012 of the International Institute of Social History is now available online.
In the history of the IISH, 2012 will go on record for the rather drastic change of course during that year.
Previous annual reports had already suggested that the Institute was in trouble. One problem was the rapidly deteriorating financial situation, which in 2012 culminated in an ongoing annual deficit exceeding half a million euros.
