The American Immigrant Alliance is an archive and magazine. We document, publish, and preserve the stories and the contributions of the American immigrant — and through that work, we help all Americans see, with greater clarity and honesty.
American Immigrant Alliance
Our Work
Everything we produce is offered freely — to readers, classrooms, and the public record.
01
A growing open archive of long-form oral histories with first-, second-, and third-generation immigrant Americans — conducted in the storyteller's first language, transcribed, and preserved alongside family photographs, letters, and documents.
Who it’s for
Storytellers · Families · Researchers
02
Our flagship publication. Essays, profiles, reported features, and oral history excerpts that honor the lives and labor of immigrant Americans — from the celebrated to the deliberately uncelebrated.
Who it’s for
General readers · Subscribers
03
Rigorously sourced briefs on the contributions of immigrants to American science, medicine, the arts, the economy, and civic life — written for a general audience and free to cite, share, and reprint.
Who it’s for
Journalists · Educators · Policymakers
04
Free curriculum, primary-source teaching kits drawn from the archive, and guest speaker visits — designed in partnership with high school and college educators teaching American history and civics.
