Migration Research

Research by the Institute of Migration - Siirtolaisuusinstituutin tutkimustoiminta - a detailed account in Finnish

Immigration History Research Center "...is an international resource on American immigration and ethnic history. The IHRC collects, preserves, and makes available archival and published resources documenting immigration and ethnicity on a national scope. These materials are particularly rich for ethnic groups that originated in eastern, central, and southern Europe and the Near East -- those who came to this country during the great wave of migration that gained momentum in the 1880s and peaked in the first decades of the 20th century. The IHRC also sponsors academic and public programs and publishes bibliographic and scholarly works."

Geographic distribution of immigrants

WHY ALL THE FINNS IN THE UP? ....one man's opinion ..."The concentration of Finns of the northern periphery of the Middle West has been a source of commentary by pedestrians as well as scholars. "Environmentalist" assertions hold that the Finns actively sought for, located and settled amidst physical-geographical surroundings that either "resembled Finland," "looked like Finland," "were similar to Finland," or "reminded them of Finland." In the Lake Superior area, and more particularly in northern Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, they supposedly found this "Finland-like" environment. Hence, the fundamental supposition expressed by the "environmentalists"---that the distribution of Finnish immigrants was geographically induced---has through frequent repetition found general acceptance. Indeed, the myth is embodied in the region´s folklore. "

Transmigration via the UK

Transmigration via the UK, 1836-1914 by Nicholas J. Evans "Between 1836 and 1914 over 32 million Europeans emigrated to the USA, Canada and South Africa. Rather than travelling directly from the European mainland many chose to migrate via Britain. This paper concerns the role that British steam and rail operators played in the business of indirect migration."

Oral History

Scandinavian Immigrant Experience Oral History Collection Pacific Lutheran University Library Special Collections.
"The Oral History project contains the recorded interviews of 282 men and women who emigrated from Scandinavia and settled in the Pacific Northwest. The project was started during an experimental course on Scandinavian Women in the Pacific Northwest. Students in the class were encouraged to interview women and learn about their experiences as immigrants to the United States. The project was continued and expanded with support from the president's office and by grants from the L.J. Skaggs and Mary C. Skaggs Foundation, from the Joel E. Ferris Foundation and the Norwegian Emigration Fund of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project was directed by Dr. Janet E. Rasmussen, a former professor at Pacific Lutheran University, now president at Hollins College, Roanoke, Virginia. A book written by her, "New Land New Lives, Scandinavian Immigrant to the Pacific Northwest" is based on these interviews."

Immigrant Arrivals: A Guide To Published Sources Compiled by Virginia Steele Wood
..."Interest in immigrant ancestors has gone far beyond finding names on ship passenger lists. Today's researcher is often keen to discover motivations for leaving the mother country, to find first-hand descriptions of the crossing, to ferret out details about particular immigrant ships and the rigors of being "processed" by immigration authorities, to study conditions encountered during early years in the New World, to learn reasons for the settlement of various ethnic groups in particular places throughout the country, and to absorb first-hand accounts of newly settled immigrants. This guide provides an introduction to the type and variety of books available concerning these topics, both recent publications and reprints of some earlier works, as well as a list of some useful subject headings. "

Amerikaexpeditionen 1971 "The Department of Nordic Languages and Literature at the University of Helsinki, in cooperation with two other institutions, made an expedition in 1971 to collect language and traditions of the Swedish-Finnish immigrants in the United States. About 600 people were interviewed. The material is deposited at Folkkultursarkivet in Helsinki, Finland (address: Ritarikatu 5, FIN-00170 Helsinki, Finland, phone +358-9-618777, telefax +358-9-61877277). The collection is made up of 382 reels of tape recordings, about 4,300 pages of transcriptions, 179 photographs and many letters and other written material. The participiants are indexed in order of name and home area in Finland. "

Vilhelm Moberg

Vilhelm Moberg is probably best known for his novels of the Swedish emigration to America: The Emigrants (Utvandrarna 1949), Unto a Good Land (Invandrarna 1956) and The Last Letter Home (Nybyggarna 1956 & Sista brevet till Sverige 1959).
Vilhelm Moberg (1898-1973)
Vilhelm Moberg (Nordic author biographies)

Vilhelm Moberg en svensk rebell "Vilhelm Moberg (1898-1973) är en av Sveriges allra mest älskade författare, och med sitt Utvandrarepos toppar han alla listor över "1900-talets största svenska roman". Men han engagerade sig också i den politiska debatten, och genom en oförtröttlig kamp för individuell frihet, mot myndigheter, politiker och särintressen, blev han en av efterkrigstidens allra skarpaste svenska liberala profiler."
