Activity Or Mission DescriptionThe Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation was established to raise funds for the restorations of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. In 2001 the Foundation opened the American Family Immigration History Center® and its website at www.ellisisland.org, providing free access to the immigration information on the 25 million people who entered through the Port of New York between 1892-1924. The Center has served over one million visitors and the website has received over 12 billion hits. In 2007, the Foundation initiated a campaign for The Peopling of America® Center which will expand upon the story currently told of the Ellis Island Years by including the story of those who arrived before Ellis Island and those who are coming since 1954. It will thematically and programmatically expand the Ellis Island Immigration Museum by educating visitors (physically at Ellis Island, and through the Internet) on immigration and citizenship that make up the American experience.ActivityOrMissionDescription
