Volunteers Needed by Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation

Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation has been working with Professors Judy Yung and Erika Lee on a narrative history of Pacific immigration to Angel Island. Professor Yung needs help inputting data on 20,000 immigrants who passed through Angel Island into Excel spread sheets. It's not difficult work and volunteers can do it on their home computer with the Excel program. For example, Prof. Yung has spent two hours to input 100 names. Let AIISF know if you can help and Professor Yung will get you the spread sheet and data to enter. All of this work will be combined into NARA's data base and made available online to all researchers, meaning people will be able to look up Angel Island case files by name on any computer.

We would like to finish entering the names by the end of this year, so contact AIISF if you would like to help out at 415-561-2160 or info@aiisf.org.
