Wij beheren archieven en documentatiemateriaal, onderhouden een omvangrijke gespecialiseerde bibliotheek, verrichten wetenschappelijk onderzoek en geven universitair onderwijs. Daarnaast delen wij onze kennis en het unieke erfgoed in onze collecties met een zo divers mogelijk publiek, via lezingen, exposities, publicaties en de sociale media.</p> <p>Sinds 1955 geeft het SHCL een eigen jaarboek uit onder de titel 'Studies over de sociaaleconomische geschiedenis van Limburg'. In het jaarboek worden wetenschappelijke artikelen opgenomen over de geschiedenis van Limburg in samenhang met de omliggende gebieden in België en Duitsland. De positie van Limburg als grensregio staat daarbij centraal. Er is vooral aandacht voor sociaaleconomische en sociaal-culturele ontwikkelingen in de negentiende en twintigste eeuw, maar bijdragen over eerdere periodes komen sporadisch ook voor.</p>https://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18464Ten geleide2023-12-11T12:24:33+01:00Nico Randeraadinfo@shclimburg.nlJoris Rooseninfo@shclimburg.nl2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Nico Randeraad, Joris Roosenhttps://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18469Discussiedossier.

Dat de Limburgse geschiedenis relevant kan zijn, staat buiten kijf. Hoe je die beoordeelt en welke elementen je eruit licht, zijn vragen waarover te discussiëren valt. Kunnen wij lering trekken uit de steekolenmijnbouw en de sluiting van de mijnen ten behoeve van de energietransitie?</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 https://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18460De constructie van een 'no-mine's land'?2023-12-11T11:07:01+01:00Afra de Marsinfo@shclimburg.nl<p>After the announcement of the Dutch mine closure in 1965, a spatial reconversion on unforeseen scale began. This reconversion is known under the contemporary slogan ‘van zwart naar groen’ (from black to green). As a result of the choices made at the time, the Dutch Mijnstreek now seems a kind of ‘no-mine’s land’. Using publications by planning authorities, this article analyses the ideas behind the slogan ‘from black to green’ and why it was thought this transition was necessary. After a general introduction, the article focuses on the case of the Willem-terrain of the Domaniale Mijn. It also discusses how the ideas of ‘from black to green’ fitted in broader contemporary debates on nature, environment and heritage, and makes a comparison between the Dutch reconversion and the Belgium one, which had a very different result.</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Afra de Marshttps://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18461Een kleurrijke blik op een ondergronds verleden2023-12-11T11:28:52+01:00Afra de Marsinfo@shclimburg.nlJudith Van Puyveldeinfo@shclimburg.nl<p>Today, the Limburg landscape shows little evidence of its mining past. Existing artwork, on the other hand, regularly references the mining industry. Among the different types of artwork, stained-glass windows are perhaps an unexpected artistic witness of the mining industry and as such constitute a largely overlooked part of mining heritage. This article focuses on these mining windows, which depict the mining industry in various ways. Mining windows have not been the subject of many studies, nor does an overarching catalogue exist. This incited the authors and the Centre for the Social History of Limburg (SHCL) to create the GLiM-project (Stained-glass windows and Dutch mines). The project focuses on compiling an online database of mining windows, starting with those in Dutch Limburg. This article introduces the GLiM-database and zooms in on three case studies: ‘Heilige Barbara’ (1932/1937) by Henri Jonas in Bleijerheide, ‘Eigenschappen van steenkool’ (1938) by Joep Nicolas for DSM, and ‘Het gezonde leven in Limburg’ (1954) by Charles Eyck for the Sanatorium Hornerheide.</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Afra de Mars, Judith Van Puyveldehttps://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18462Maastrichtse industriëlen en het Belgische annexisme in de jaren 1918-19192023-12-11T12:02:59+01:00Eddy de Beaumontinfo@shclimburg.nl<p>During and immediately after the First World War the Belgian government developed plans to annex parts of the Netherlands after the war, such as the province of Limburg. How did industrialists in the capital Maastricht respond to these Belgium goals? In this article, I explore the perspectives of an industrialist, a state detective and an economist in this matter. The industrialist was a fierce opponent <br>of annexation, while the state detective was convinced that annexionists, those who were in favour of annexation, should mainly be found among major industrialists. The economist, on the other hand, did not rule out the possibility that some of Maastricht’s traders and industrialists would prefer a connection with Belgium. <br>How did they come to these conclusions and to what extent did their considerations and other sources provide an answer to the research question of this article? Taking both gossip and facts into account, we may conclude that indeed there <br>could have been traders and industrialists who supported the Belgian aspirations and preferred to join Belgium. However, the general claim that, in Maastricht especially, major industrialists were in favour of annexation lacks any factual evidence</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Eddy de Beaumonthttps://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18465Op de bres voor het 'Deutschtum' in Limburg (1933-1940)2023-12-11T12:36:40+01:00Jan Brauerinfo@shclimburg.nl<p>Borders engender cultural and socio-political interaction between states. Especially in border regions, issues of nationality and identity sharpen in times of political tension. As early as 1933, for instance, Limburg faced strong influence of the rising National Socialist Third Reich, partly because of the many thousands of German migrants - ‘Rijksduitsers’ - who lived and worked there. Fierce propaganda and intimidation had to activate these so-called ‘Volksgenossen’, but in addition, the Limburgers, as ‘race-Germans’, also belonged in this Reich, according to Berlin. They had strayed from Deutschtum and had to be reclaimed with the use of propaganda. This early invasive socio-political influence process – a clear prelude to the occupation years ‘40-45’ – is examined in this article from German and Dutch sources. What was the impact on the daily lives of border residents, who traditionally fostered close ties with neighbours across the border? To answer this question, this article presents new cross-border regional research in the periphery of Limburg as a contribution to the broader historiography of Dutch WWII-history.</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Jan Brauerhttps://shcl-jaarboek.nl/article/view/18468Muzieknoten en voetnoten2023-12-12T10:01:47+01:00Chris Dolsinfo@shclimburg.nl<p>This article delves into the cross media project Veurvaajers (Ancestors, 2022), which weaves together family history, pop music, and contemporary photography, while at the same time linking microhistories in the Meuse-Rhine Region (1780-1980) to general historical developments in society. The article explores how dialogues between scholarly research and different forms of art can help us make sense of the past by raising new questions and reaching new audiences. The article dissects the conception and execution of Veurvaajers, shedding light on the project’s blueprint and implementation. Along the way, it highlights both opportunities and limitations of historical fiction as a literary genre, and explores how historical actors, objects, and trends can be ‘auditised’ in a convincing manner. Much attention is directed towards the Industrial Revolution in the city of Maastricht from the 1830s onwards, underscoring its pivotal role in the larger historical context.</p>2023-12-12T00:00:00+01:00Copyright (c) 2023 Chris Dols
