This collection consists of papers, documents and letters related to lawyer Otto Mannheimer who lived and worked in Gothenburg at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The collection mainly comprises letters between family members in the larger Mannheimer family, as well as letters written to Otto and Charlotte Mannheimer from Swedish artists, authors and politicians. The collection is divided into three volumes, of which the first volume concerns Otto Mannheimer’s professional life and the two later volumes hold private correspondence and letters.
The first volume contains notes from lectures in 1882 that concern banks and credits. It also includes documents related to Otto Mannheimer’s life, as well as printed documents from the lawyer’s time as a student in Uppsala in the 1880s and documents related to Mannheimer’s time as a member of the Swedish parliament.
The second volume contains letters sent by Otto Mannheimer between 1889 and 1924, although some letters are undated. In detail: four letters to Elin Mannheimer (née Benktander) from 1918 to 1924, 55 letters to Otto and Charlotte Mannheimer’s daughter Agnes Heiberg (née Mannheimer) from 1904 to 1923, 128 letters to Otto Mannheimer’s wife, the artist Charlotte Mannheimer (née Abrahamson) from 1889 to 1919, 24 letters to Otto and Charlotte Mannheimer’s son, the bank manager Henrik Mannheimer from 1913 to 1921, 22 letters to the Mannheimer family’s children from 1909 to 1920, 30 letters to Gertrud Mélaméde (née Mannheimer) from 1921 to 1923, and one letter to Dr Ingeborg von Rosen (née Pineus) from 1923.
The third and last volume contains letters written to Otto Mannheimer from 1865 to 1934, as well as letters to Arnold Abrahamson and Charlotte Mannheimer, and letters written by Charlotte Mannheimer. In detail: the volume contains one to three letters each from politician David Bergström, professor and Royal Governor Nils Edén, publicist Ragnar Fehr, artist and professor Isaac Grünewald, publicist Mauritz Hellberg, author Ellen Key, author Selma Lagerlöf, artist Carl Larsson, Carl Levin, lawyer and politician Eliel Löfgren, doctor Carl Mannheimer, artist Gotfred Rode, artist Gösta Sandels, professor and publicist Torgny Segerstedt, artist Birger Simonson, composer Wilhelm Stenhammar, professor Ernst Trygger, as well as 26 letters from Charlotte Mannheimer from 1889 to 1893.

All letters are mainly written by hand in ink in Swedish, but some are in English.
