About Immigrant Stories
Immigrant Stories helps people tell, share, and preserve personal and family immigration stories. Use this website and create a digital story: a 3-5 minute video made from your own photos, text, and audio.
You tell your own story in your own words. Simply follow our instructions and video tutorials. We'll show you how to write a story, record a voiceover, and put your video together.
Immigrant Stories is run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC), where we've studied immigration for over fifty years. We share and preserve these digital stories for future generations through the IHRC Archives and the Digital Public Library of America. We created this website with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
