The International Archive for the Social History of German Literature (IASL) is a specialist literary journal . Since the 1970s it has been a forum for research contributions on the relationship between literary texts and socio-historical contexts. The spectrum of the IASL covers the entire history of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present day. Particular attention is paid to the theoretical foundations of literary history, especially the methodological and thematic points of contact between literary studies and the history and social sciences.

In 2001 the editorial team - after Wolfgang Frühwald left - was supplemented by the Germanist Walter Erhart, and in 2002 by the Germanist Norbert Bachleitner and Christian Begemann and the historian Gangolf Hübinger . Current editors of the IASL are Norbert Bachleitner, Christian Begemann, Walter Erhart, Gangolf Hübinger, Barbara Picht and Meike Werner. The members of the scientific advisory board are Peter Jelavich, Peter Strohschneider , Silvia Serena Tschopp, Angelika Epple and Barbara Beßlich .
The editorial office of the magazine was in Munich from 1976 to 2002 and in Vienna from 2003 to 2009 . The editorial office has been based at Bielefeld University since 2010 .
