Seeing the Big Picture

Millions of people immigrated to the United States from the 1880s through World War II. Their stories were captured in documents and photographs attached to government forms in immigration case files.

Match each document in the grid below to a person based on the reason they were in the United States. Click on the “Open in New Window” icons to learn more about that person’s story. As you make your matches, note whether each person’s reason is a “pull factor” or a “push factor.”

After you’ve finished matching, click “When You’re Done” to follow each person on their journey around the world.
