Passenger and Immigration Lists: Italians to America, 1880-1893

From 1880 to 1893, a significant number of Italians—approximately 413,000—migrated to the United States. If you're interested in learning more about them, a good starting point is the book series Italians to America. Initially, this collection was a set of indexed book lists that was the first to focus solely on Italian immigrants coming to the U.S. The complete series spans twelve volumes and covers the years 1880 to 1899. However, the database you'll find online only includes the initial seven volumes, which focus on 1880 to 1893. One interesting thing to note is that most of the immigrants featured in these initial volumes made their first American home in New York City.
