Tar—the black gold?

The processing of tar was one of the side jobs for the common people in the past. It also led to an economic boom, and tar was
a product of great importance to merchants in Skellefteå. Jörgen Andersson discusses how the tar industry has influenced the region from the 16th century onward.
A joint event with the Skellefteå Museum.
