Evergreen tools at IISH

The International Institute of Social History (IISH), founded in 1935, conducts comprehensive research on the global history of work, workers, and labor relations. With over 3,000 archives and a wealth of printed and audio-visual materials, the IISH has migrated to the Evergreen database system. This process includes significant updates such as automatic authority linking, effective data management, and enhanced accessibility of records. The migration, completed in early 2013, aims to improve research efficiency and resource sharing within the academic community.
