Immigrant entrepreneurship was one of the decisive factors in the United States' rise as an economic superpower in the late nineteenth century. The country benefited from the relative openness and freedom that attracted talent from around the world and encouraged minorities who fled discrimination elsewhere to try their luck. This collaborative research project will shed new light on the entrepreneurial and economic capacity of immigrants by investigating the German-American example in the United States. It will trace the lives, careers, and business ventures of eminent German-American businesspeople of the last three hundred years, integrating the history of German-American immigration into the larger narrative of U.S. economic and business history.The website for the project presents peer-reviewed, in-depth biographies of leading German-American entrepreneurs supported by archival images, documents, and even videos; long-form essays that explore larger themes related to immigration and entrepreneurship in the U.S.; and a multitude of other unique resources to form a new digital archive exploring the nexus of immigration and entrepreneurship.
