Most of the photos I've gathered on this Flickr support a project I've been working on since 2015:

LET ME GET THERE

LET ME GET THERE is a born-digital project created to help visualize and therefore better understand early 20th century immigrant lives—at as close to their point of departure or arrival as possible. At its core will be more than 20,000 public domain images extracted from U.S. passport applications submitted at various U.S. consulates throughout the world, circa 1904-1925.
