Join Anne Sibert Buiter, Professor of Economics, Birkbeck, University of London, and member of the NYG&B Board of Trustees, and the NYG&B as she discusses her recent publications looking at immigration to New York:
- Tracing Immigrants through the Port on New York
- Early National Period to 1924, New York Under the Dutch: Focus on Migration and Immigration
- Immigration to NY: English/British Colonial Period
Between the late 1700s and 1924, New York was a key gateway for millions who journeyed to the United States to establish new lives.Today, millions of Americans descend from immigrants who passed through New York’s port, including Castle Garden and Ellis Island.
Buiter’s three publications cover research strategies and records for tracing immigrants, ranging from the Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam, British colonialists, and other immigrants through the Port of New York up to 1924.
The series is essential for all genealogists, family historians, local historians, social scientists, and others doing research in New York.
Professor Buiter will discuss her research and writing process in a discussion with NYG&B President D. Joshua Taylor.Those attending in-person are welcome to join us for a reception following the program.
Please RSVP here for this special evening. Every attendee will receive a discount code for $8 off any of the three books.
