This resource contains information on approximately
413,000 individuals who immigrated to the United States from Italy between 1880
and 1893. Originally published as a series of book volumes, Italians to America
was the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United
States.
The information was compiled from the original ship manifest schedules
filed by all vessels entering United States ports in accordance with the
act of Congress of 1819. Although Italians departed almost entirely from
ports in their home country, Italians to America includes Italian departures
from all foreign ports. In addition, almost all of the immigrants listed
arrived in New York City

| Sources for Italians to America, 1880-1893: |
| Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby and published
originally in book format by Scholarly Resources, Inc., Italians to America
was the first indexed reference work devoted solely to Italian immigrants to the
United States. The National Genealogical Society Quarterly wrote of the
original book series, "For those who are tracing their Italian heritage or conducting
statistical studies of Italian America, this series is a welcomed source."
While the entire series contains twelve volumes and covers the years
1880 through 1899, the information collected here was extracted from the
first seven volumes of the series and covers the years 1880 through 1893.
