Amsab-ISG, the Institute of Social History in Ghent, preserves, researches and makes accessible the heritage of social movements and of individuals who fight for justice, equality and solidarity. The collection can be consulted online through the catalogue or in person in the reading room by reservation.

It publishes Brood & Rozen, a history magazine that appears four times a year and is presented as the most widely distributed historical-scientific magazine in Belgium, along with books and exhibition brochures. Publications are sold through a webshop, which offers annual subscriptions for individuals and organisations. The institute also runs exhibitions, lectures, workshops and public events, aimed at academic researchers and the general public.

Amsab-ISG is based at Bagattenstraat in Ghent. Its staff are organised into teams for collection, research, public engagement and support services. The website states that the Flemish government announced that operating subsidies for the national archives, including Amsab-ISG, will be halved from January 2027.
