The Archives of Emile Vandervelde
| The papers of Emile
Vandervelde (1866-1938), undisputed leader of the Parti Ouvrier Belge (Belgian
Workers' Party) from 1894 until his death and figurehead of the Socialist
International, consist of almost 1,500 items divided into four sections:
newspaper articles, files, correspondence and speeches. The influence of
the man they called 'Le Patron' (the Boss) matched that of someone like
Jean Jaurès, whom he succeeded working on the Dépêche
de Toulouse. |
