- University of Minnesota - IHRC - Immigration History Research Center
- Founded in 1965, the IHRC - Immigration History Research Center
at the University of Minnesota is an international resource on
American immigration and ethnic history.
- It maintains archival and library collections, sponsors
academic and public programs, and publishes bibliographic
and scholarly works.
- Collections are largely the products of the immigrants
and their descendants including personal papers of community
leaders, clergy, journalists, or educators and the records
of fraternal organizations, immigrant service agencies, or
publishing companies.
- Most of the books, pamphlets, serials, and newspapers
originated from the prolific ethnic presses in the United
States (and Canada) from the late nineteenth century to
the present.
- All of these materials document many kinds of ethnic
activities, from daily life in the household to work,
celebrations, and organizational activities.
- The Center's collections have particular strengths in
documentation on eastern, central, and southern European and
Near Eastern ethnic groups -- those associated with the epic
trans-Atlantic migration of the late 19th and early 20th
centuries.
- The IHRC also holds valuable primary and secondary source
materials on earlier as well as more recent migration waves,
encompassing immigrants and refugees from throughout the world.
