ImmigrationResources

The Lowell National Historical Park, the Center for Lowell History, and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell are doing two studies: of **immigrant businesses** between 1870 and 1930 at over forty locations in Lowell; and **changing immigrant neighborhoods** in the 20th century. Read the stories of the people and businesses at these locations by browsing locations from a map, picking locations from a list, choosing a type of business or selecting an ethnic background. This guide offers book, film, curriculum, and website resources for teaching and learning about immigration and migration. Use the tabs at the top of the page to navigate through the guide. Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) uses properties listed in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places to enliven history, social studies, geography, civics, and other subjects. TwHP has created a variety of products and activities that help teachers bring historic places into the classroom. **“Yankees and Immigrants.” Tsongas Center for Industrial History, Lowell National Historic Park.** [|**http://www.uml.edu/Tsongas/Education_Programs/Field_Trips/Yankees_and_Immigrants.html**] All of the machines that revolutionized industrial production in the 19th century required people to operate them. This program investigates the daily lives of the early industrial workers, both the early Yankee "mill girls" and the immigrants who later replaced them.
