NLHN online Workshop: Who is who in Nordic labour movements? Towards a biographical
encyclopaedia of labour activists 28 November 14.00
(zoom link below)
Many people interested in a movement or an organisation often encounter lesser-known names
in the sources. It can be difficult to get an overview of the importance of individuals
for an organisation's daily work or how organisations are connected through personal
networks. One way to find information about individuals is to search in biographical
encyclopaedias. During periods, labour movements in the Nordic countries have published
bibliographic encyclopaedias, but they are far from complete. Women are often
underrepresented and often cover a shorter period of history. We have invited specialists
in historical biographies to discuss how a historical encyclopaedia for the Nordic labour
movement could be designed based on experiences from similar projects.
