It should be noted at the outset that it is not my intention to cover in detail all files available for the study of anarchism in Germany. Even a partial listing would fill many pages. What I have attempted to do is to point out the principal repositories of materials available, while describing some of the most valuable or unique parts of their collections. Surprisingly the body of material for the study of anarchism in Germany is much larger than one might at first assume. What is more most of it has been little used by researchers.

Scholars interested in European socialism and labor history have made frequent use of the rich collections in the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam. The Institut Français d'Histoire Sociale, a comparable institution though on a more limited scale, has not been utilized to the same extent and deserves far more attention from researchers than it has received.

What follows are some personal reflections on the teaching of European labor history in the United States, based on the questionnaires that have come in to the Newsletter. I hope that these remarks will stimulate a discussion concerning the teaching of labor history, and that others will be prompted to respond in future issues of the Newsletter.
