This digital library collects online, genealogical and print collection information on American immigrant history and provides that information in one place on the internet. It is intended for those looking for immigrant history in general and for their family history in particular. An important component is the feature which lets families have a place online to add their immigrant history and digitized artifacts to help increase overall information on the subject of immigration.
 
 
Please note that the collection is by no means comprehensive.
