Language was regarded as the best criterion for drawing boundaries which would recognize what was called at that date "the right of self-determination."

Durch die Entwicklung der letzten Jahre und insbesondere durch das Zusammenwachsen der beiden deutschen Staaten hat das Interesse an deutschen Archivalien zugenommen. Ein qualitativ wichtiger Teil der deutschen Archive verschwand, ein anderer wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen im Ausland untergebracht. Bei diesem letzteren handelt es sich um Archive und Nachlässe von Organisationen und Personen, die vom Hitler-Regime bedroht wurden. Ein Großteil dieser Archive wird im Amsterdamer Internationalen Institut für Sozialgeschichte (IISG) aufbewahrt. In dem ersten Teil des vorliegenden Aufsatzes wird die Periode bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg, in der das IISG gegründet wurde, geschildert. Der zweite Abschnitt behandelt die Periode 1940-1984, die vom Krieg und im folgenden vom Wachstum, sowohl in personeller und finanzieller Hinsicht, als auch was die Kollektionen betrifft, geprägt wurde. Ein dritter Abschnitt ist dem Zeitraum 1984 bis zur Gegenwart gewidmet, in dem eine Reorganisation und eine Neuorientierung des Instituts vorgenommen wurde: Die ursprüngliche Zielsetzungen blieben erhalten, die praktische Konkretisierung änderte sich.
