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.

The collaborative research project Immigrant Entrepreneurship: German-American
Business Biographies, 1720 to the Present, which ran from 2010 through mid-2016,
explores the entrepreneurial and economic capacity of immigrants by
investigating the German-American example in the United States.

It traces the lives, careers, and business ventures of  German-American
businesspeople of roughly the last two hundred and ninety years, integrating the
history of German-American immigration into the larger narrative of U.S.
economic and business history.

This online biographical dictionary synthesizes the results of the collaborative
research project with a large collection of archival materials.

For ease of navigation, the project is divided into five volumes:

 * Volume 1: From the Colonial Economy to Early Industrialization, 1720-1840
 * Volume 2: The Emergence of an Industrial Nation, 1840-1893
 * Volume 3: From the End of the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era, 1893-1918
 * Volume 4: The Age of the World Wars, 1918-1945
 * Volume 5: From the Postwar Boom to Global Capitalism, 1945-Today

Users can explore Immigrant Entrepreneurship through these pre-determined
volumes. In each volume you will find a short introduction to the time period,
the biographical articles, thematic essays, images, documents, and other
materials.
