> A global history of textile workers, 1650-2000
>
> The International Institute of Social History has recently started a
> new research project. The aim of this project is to write a global
> and comparative history of textile workers 1650-2000. In order to do
> this, national overviews as well as thematic papers will be written
> by several historians across the world, discussed at a conference in
> November 2004 and finally published. In the first phase of the
> project, national studies will be written on textile production in
> different countries over the period 1650-2000. This lengthy period
> has been chosen to incorporate the pre-industrial period, proto-
> industrialisation, the industrial production of textiles from its
> beginnings in Britain in the eighteenth century, and the de-
> industrialisation of these early centres of the textile industry. But
> the focus will not exclusively be on well-known industrial nations.
>
> All major textile producing countries will be included. To make them
> useful tools for international comparisons, these national overviews
> will be based on a framework document which lists a number of
> topics/questions to be treated in each overview. On our web page,
> http://www.iisg.nl/research/textile.html you will find a detailed
> description of our intended programme. Please read this carefully,
> and also take note of the framework document, according to which all
> national overviews will be written.
