The Center for Business History is undertaking a book project that tells the story of Per Olof (Pelle) Söderberg’s life. Pelle Söderberg was one of several successful entrepreneurs who shaped Swedish business life during the 19th century, as well as a leading figure in the Söderberg family. The project also aims to fill a gap—Sweden’s economic development during the 19th century has been described in general terms, primarily within economic history, but biographies of individual entrepreneurs are far less common. The project is divided into three phases. In the first phase, research will be conducted focusing on sources that have not been used to date (private materials, public archives, newspaper articles, etc.). The second phase involves writing the text, and the project concludes with layout and printing in the third phase. During the course of the project, two seminars will be organized to evaluate sources and the manuscript. The book about Pelle Söderberg will be published by Förlaget Näringslivshistoria and presented at the Gothenburg Book Fair in 2018.
