(805 98) Gävle - 244 Oslättforsvägen

In Oslättfors, 2 kilometers northwest of Gävle, there was a former iron industry - Oslättfors Bruk, founded in 1697. Archives Gävleborg has since managed the archives of the company on behalf of Korsnäs AB last year. The archive consists of 20 shelf-size books, from 1775 to 1926, with long complete series.

The most successful period was from the late 1700s and until the mid 1800s, when six nail hammers were running. Subsequently, demand declined gradually and the mill was down in the 1880s. Operations at Oslättfors were transferred to agriculture and forestry. The archive may be particularly interesting for genealogists whose ancestors worked on the farm, but of course, also for local historically interested. The actions tell about the people who worked on the farm, how much they worked and what, how much they got in salary and what they bought. Rye, corn, malt, salt, pork, strawberry, carrots, cabbage roots, cabbage, majro and parsley are examples of foods that were available
