Which entrepreneurs determined the course of Limburg’s economy? Which companies put the province of Limburg on the map and increased the speed of its industrialisation? The Social History Centre Limburg (SHCL) is looking for an intern who, under supervision of SHCL and FASoS, will conduct historical research into these themes. If desired, the internship can lead to a thesis.
Tasks
Archival research into entrepreneurs and companies in Limburg; help set up a website containing short articles on influential entrepreneurs/enterprises; conduct interviews with (former) entrepreneurs; delve further into entrepreneurial histories brought forward by volunteers.
The research internship will take place within the Commission on Entrepreneurs and Enterprises within Limburg (COOL), initiated by the Limburgs Geschied- en Oudheidkundus Genootschap (LGOG) and SHCL.
