Early U.S. Immigration Resource

The Harvard Libraries, Archives, and Museums have compiled their resources related to early United States immigration in the collection Immigration to the United States, 1789-1930. 

This web collection looks at immigration from the signing of the Constitution all the way up to the Great Depression.  The collection is immense, and very impressive.  You'll find over 6,000 photographs, thousands of pages from manuscripts and archives, 1,800 books and pamphlets, maps, and more.  Bookmark this sweet resource for the next time you have immigration history questions--and it also might come in handy for genealogy searches too!

The collection is part of Harvard's Open Collections Program, which offers "online access to resources from Harvard's libraries to benefit students and teachers around the world." Other subjects covered include Women Working, Contagious Diseases, and Islamic Heritage.
