What We Do
Three commitments. One country.
Pillar 01
Document
We record oral histories, collect family photographs and letters, and preserve first-person accounts of the immigrant experience for an open public archive.
Pillar 02
Publish
Through our magazine, essays, and research briefs, we share these stories with a wide American audience — beautifully, accurately, and without ornament.
Pillar 03
Educate
We partner with classrooms, libraries, and civic groups to help all Americans understand the contributions immigrants have made — and continue to make — to this country.
