Just in case you have not seen this before, here is the great news:

www.CastleGarden.org


The Battery Conservancy is preparing to launch CastleGarden.org on August 1,
2005 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the immigrant
depot at Castle Garden on August 1, 1855.

The electronic database project is led by Dr. Ira Glazier, former Director of
The Center for Migration Research at The Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies
and Immigration. CastleGarden.org will be a vital resource for the general
public and for scholars interested in the history of immigration through the Port
of New York.

The historical records used by Castlegarden.org are held by and available for
research at the U. S. National Archives and Records Administration, New York
City.

added note: be patient but persistent-- it will be a very popular site for a
while.
