The first two volumes (on the twelve envisaged) were published in 2006 pennies the title: biographical Dictionary, labor movement, social movement .

Genesis of the project
It is into 1955 that comes to Jean Maitron, confronted with the chronic request for information on the observers of the history which were the elected officials, the intellectuals and the militants of the Labor movement, the idea of this dictionary. In 1958, it launches a call to contribution in the Actualité of the history , re-examined French Institut of social history (IFHS). The mobilization of a great number of researchers and the progressive recognition of the dictionary allowed the opening of inaccessible files, in particular those of the police headquarter.

DBMOF with DBMOMS
The operational startup of a fifth period of the " Maitron" , energy of the Occupation with Mai 68, required the taking into account of new forms of militancy exceeding the framework of the labor movement. From where adoption of a new title: biographical Dictionary, labor movement, social movement ( DBMOMS ). But DBMOF , DBMOI , dictionaries sets of themes and DBMOMS are before all the four components of only one and even together: " Maitron ".
Prosopography and labor movement
With the wire of its realization, Maitron knew a double evolution: the progressive organization of the research task in " corpus" (geographical, organisational…) and the recourse to the numerical support (cédérom). This allowed a considerable development of the uses of the dictionary which constitutes a database today opening the way with many research Prosopographiques applied to the militancy.
