Narratives of Labor History
(Arbetarhistorisk skildring)
NLH is a Swedish research team which studies Swedish-American Labor History.
We publish Labor History narratives, biographies and articles
Introduction
The research projects are not our day time jobs. We do this because we think it is important to pass on knowledge to this and future generations of history readers on all aspects of Swedish- American life at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th Century.
Typical themes for our research:
• Swedish-American roots in Sweden. Through Swedish church books it is possible in general to trace family roots back to the 17th century.
• General history of the everyday life of Swedish-Americans.
• Scandinavians within the IWW, SP, Farmer Labor Party and other radical movements.
• Biographies of people like Eric Hoyer, former Mayor of Minneapolis.
• The history of Swedish newspapers in USA, such as for example Arbetaren.
We publish all sorts of material about Swedish-American Labor History. Books (both our own production and translations into Swedish), pamphlets, articles in newspapers and magazines, exhibitions and so on.
