[LM_NET] HIT: Information re: Immigration Stats from 1890 - 1920

[Chris Evans <CEvans@CUSD220.LAKE.K12.IL.US>]

Hi all,

As always, this Listserv is such an important part of my everyday; once again, 
LM_NET members have provided the answers needed.  It's a privilege to be associated 
with such an incredible group of colleagues -- through cyberspace.

Original post:

A teacher and I have been trying to find a resource that is student friendly 
and will supply us with data regarding immigration by country or region or 
groups of people i.e. Greeks, Italians, Poles, Arabs  for 1890 - 1920.  We 
would like yearly stats but he would happily accept by data by decades.

A special thanks to Martin, Darlene, Hella, Linda,

I'm not sure it will be enough, but take a look at FactMonster's page on 
immigration: http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0900547.html 

Brownstone, David M., and Irene M. Franck.  Facts About American Immigration. New 
York. H.W.Wilson Company. 2001. ISBN0-8242-0959-1

We do an immigration unit with our 8th grade, concentrating on Italy, Ireland, 
Japan, China, Cuba, Mexico and Native Americans' migration (specifically, the 
Dakota).

The curriculum link on our web site
http://www.asij.ac.jp/middle/lib/curlinks/Immigration/Immigration.htm

contains a link from the LOC that we find to be very helpful for our students' 
research:

Do you have access to Historical Statistics of the US?  It seems to me it includes 
information of this sort.

Readingly yours,
Chris
