This edition is updated and enlarged.

"The purpose of this book [is] to focus attention on the records that detail the arrival of European immigrants in America, to show that there actually exists documentation on millions of those who took part in the great Atlantic migration. In essence, then this is a guide to the records and archival resources that document the arrival of immigrants in America from the time of the earliest settlements to the passage of the Quota Acts three centuries later. As a guide, its sole aim is to explain what the records are, where the records are located, and what they contain, and it tries to cover the random, incidental records of the colonial period as well as the purposeful, systematic records of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries"--Pref.
