US+Immigration+1789-1930+Archive+Review+by+Cho

[|Here's] an archive of immigration history in the US between 1789-1930 from the Harvard University library. It is a text based archive (I think I know what that means now after looking at a bunch of digital archives): limited pictures, text dominated - I mean, the timeline is literally just a date and then a caption. What's nice about this archive is that it allows you to search for something in particular or just browse by genre (books and photos) and subject (topics, themes, organizations, people and timeline).

As for user friendliness and interface, this is a pretty bad archive. One of the links I clicked on to take me to a primary source manuscript was broken (broken links = big BOO in my book). Once I was finally able to find something, a new window showing the scan was opened rather than having the site go directly to the image from the current window. One plus is that you can zoom in on scanned images, something you can't do in the Bukowski or Poe archive.
