Carl Søyland papers, 1916-1976
Collection Number:
P0845
Extent:
1.6 cubic feet (4 archives boxes) and 1 scrapbook
Abstract:
Articles, clippings, correspondence, manuscripts, unpublished research notes, lectures, and a
scrapbook of a Norwegian-born journalist and author, who came to the United States about
1920 to study music, but who found the life of a "tramp-journalist" more interesting. He traveled
all over the world writing for newspapers, sometimes using the pseudonym Viggo Vey. He edited
"California Vikingen" (1924-1925) in Los Angeles. In 1926 he began his association with the
Brooklyn, New York, newspaper "Nordisk Tidende," of which he became chief editor
(1941-1962). He is the author of two books, both published in Norway: "Langs landeveien"
(1929) and "Skrift i sand" (1954).
