Evelina Berggren

I am a PhD in the project "Early modern inequality through machine-read wealth registers", a collaboration between SLU, Lund university and the Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet). The purpose of the project is to study early modern inequality and wealth structures through Älvsborg ransom 1571. 

I have a master's degree in history from Lund university (2025). Previously, I have also been in other projects working with wealth through probates. My areas of specialization are inequality, economic elites and development of wealth distribution at the top of society. I am also interested in demographic questions on how certain forced conditions as well as choices, for example illegitimacy or migration, affected the life-course of an individual.
