Baltimore Immigration Memorial

Are you familiar with the Baltimore Immigration Memorial (BIM)? If not, check out their website at http://www.immigrationbaltimore.org.

The project was founded in 1992 to "explore, document and preserve Baltimore's immigration-rich heritage, and to make it available to the public through a range of community and educational initiatives."

The project has several initiatives, which include:

• walking tours,
• traveling exhibitions,
• audio and video tours,
• research, and 
• an immigration museum.

The immigration museum in the "Immigration House" is set to open at the end of this year.

Additionally, the BIM is seeking assistance with:

• fundraising,
• historical research,
• themed walking tours, and 
• administrative support.

They are also seeking document and artifact donations.

You can send comments and/or questions to 2014@immigrationbaltimore.org.
