What is the Encyclopedia of Trotskyism Online (ETOL)?
The Encyclopedia of Trotskyism Online (ETOL) is an ongoing project, aimed at providing a complete documentation about the history, the idea and the activity of the international Trotskyist movement, centering upon the figure of Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) and continuing to this day. This involves compiling information from various sources and historical documents about several thousand individuals, hundreds of groupings and publications, and making them available in Internet. The aim of the ETOL is to be the key location in Internet where anybody interested in Trotskyism will go when doing research work. The ETOL will also reproduce original historical documents, and provide links to other locations on the net, which contains further documentation. In that sense, especially with the addition of further documents in languages other than English, the ETOL intends to be an online repository about the history of the Trotskyist movement.
