Submissions
What memories do you hold close as an immigrant to the United States?
AIM is seeking photographs that convey the immigrant experience. This can be your experience, your family's, or your ancestor's. By submitting your pictures - your memories to AIM - you amplify the immigrant voice.
Send us your pictures - those you feel speak best to this experience. These can be scanned photographs from your family album, or digital captures made today. These are your memories and we thank you for sharing them. All submissions are appreciated. They will be saved to create a historical archive. From these submissions, some of these pictures will be organized into albums featured on AIMproject.org.
Guidelines
With each picture, please include the following when possible:
Your name.
The city and state where the picture was made.
A sentence or two that tells us how the image speaks to a memory that you hold as an immigrant.
Please be sure to send along an email address or phone number where you can be reached. This information is held in confidence and is for use only by AIM to contact you.
