The initial part of this series
features over 50 unpublished autobiographical manuscripts

the University of Minnesota. Spanning the period
from the late 19th century to the 1960s and representing
the major ethnic groups of Eastern and Southern
Europe, these autobiographical writings provide
details on immigrant attitudes on such topics as
politics, ethnic solidarity, cultural adaptation,
and the roles of the sexes. Guide available. |

A, Subject correspondence files |
Most of the collection covers
the period from 1907 when the Immigration Act was
passed to broaden the Imigration Services' jurisdiction
on prostitution matters, until the Justice Department
became involved to implement the 1910 Mann White
Slavery Act. These files document the lines of cooperation
between the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization
and Justice Department and such private agencies
as the Survey, the National Florence Crittendon
Mission, the National Council of Women, and other
societies which dealt with reforms for women, and
the issues of prostitution and white slavery and
their connection to immigration. Guide available.
