Book synopsis

Americans proudly proclaim the United States "a nation of immigrants." Millions who came to the US found freedom and opportunity, but America's immigrant story has always been made up of individuals whose histories differed according to who they were, where they came from, and where, when and why they arrived. 'Attachments: Faces and Stories from America's Gates', based on a National Archives Experience exhibition of the same title, draws from the millions of immigration files in the U.S. National Archives to tell some of these unique tales. The catalogue combines prospective immigrants' photographs that were "attached" to a variety of immigration forms, as well as other fascinating documents, to explore the attachments of immigrants to family and community.
