The Canberra Region Branch of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (ASSLH) and the National Institute for Social Sciences and Law (NISSL) at the Australian National University (ANU) invite students doing honours or equivalent to apply for a $1,000 scholarship to do research at the Noel Butlin Archives Centre (NBAC), based at ANU in Canberra.

The aim of the scholarship is to assist a promising student, with an interest in labour history and/or the labour movement more generally, to overcome the financial obstacles to doing research in Canberra.

Dear Colleagues,

I am making researches on the link between the Esperanto movement and the Freethninker movement.

I found archives in the esperanto's libraries and different groups in the world.

But I search special information on a esperantist freethinker :

Kurt Hubricht (1890-) Leipzig (Germany)

In the esperanto's archives, he was still alive in 1932. But after, he disappears. We know that the Hitler power forbidden the esperantist worker association in 1932.

But I don't know if he was killed, in jail or in another country...

During 20th century elections, political posters wallpapered our streets, providing political parties an opportunity to ‘speak’ to the masses. Despite the onset of digital technology, posters still provided some of the resonant images of the 2010 election.
