NAM Voices

Personal stories of the immigrant experience are a vital component of the New Americans Museum’s efforts to illuminate the many facets of contemporary immigration to the United States. The NAM Voices: Oral Histories Project is intended to collect and preserve these narratives. An advisory council of scholars, immigrant leaders, and media experts provide ongoing guidance. The archived stories make accounts of the immigrant experience for posterity. The histories are available at the Museum, in audio and digital video format, and as part of interactive exhibitions. This is an ongoing project and we welcome new stories from members of the community who are interested in preserving their history.
