Ellis Island museum seeks oral histories
By Times Staff Writer The National Park Service, which maintains and operates the Immigration Museum at Ellis Island in New York Harbor, is seeking more oral histories from those who immigrated through the facility. An article published in Travel recounted one woman's memories, which are among those recorded for museum visitors to hear. Anyone interested in being interviewed for the ongoing project should contact Janet Levine, in charge of the Oral History Program, at:
Ellis Island Immigration Museum Readers can call her (212) 363-3206, ext. 157, or send e-mail to janet_levine@nps.gov. "No matter how briefly they were on Ellis Island, and even if they do not remember some things, I would still like to interview them, either on Ellis Island or in Florida," Levine said. "Dates for trips to Florida are uncertain now." Those who are interviewed tell their stories, which can be selected to be preserved for posterity at the Ellis Island Museum. An audio cassette of the interview will be sent to each person interviewed, Levine said.
