The NYPL is a proud contributor to a stunning new virtual exhibition called Leaving Europe: A new life in America. Created by the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) and Europeana, the exhibition tells the story of European emigration to the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. The virtual exhibition uses photographs, manuscripts, broadsheets, paintings, letters, audio, government documents and other unique materials to chart people’s journeys across the European continent and their settlement in the United States. It is an incredible look into our past and one that we highly suggest you take a look at!
