The Library currently has trial access to Migration to New Worlds II:<\/strong> The Modern Era<\/strong> from Adam Matthew Digital. The Modern Era<\/strong> presents thousands of sources focusing on the growth of colonisation companies during the nineteenth century, the activities of American immigration and welfare societies, and the plight of refugees and displaced persons throughout the twentieth century.<\/p>\n

You can access this online resource via the E-resources trials<\/strong><\/a> page.
\nAccess is available both on and off-campus.<\/p>\n

Trial access ends<\/strong> 14th May 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the Library you already have access to Migration to New Worlds I: The Century of Immigration<\/strong> but The Modern Era<\/strong> presents a later chapter of the migration story. This is brought to life through organisational papers, providing detailed insight into the daily running of services for new immigrants (particularly in the United States); government correspondence and pamphlets encouraging immigration to Australia, New Zealand and Canada; oral histories, objects and accounts documenting key personal reflections on European migration experiences and correspondence, scrapbooks and journals outlining colonisation schemes in New Zealand and the United States.<\/p>\n
