| Ellis Island was abandoned in 1954. After years of deterioration, the main building was restored in 1990 to house the Immigration Museum. The rest of the complex remained unseen and largely untouched for half of a century, until now.
Ellis Island represents the hopes and aspirations of over 12 million immigrants who passed through its doors, whose descendants now comprise nearly half the population of America.
The first reel, Ellis Island Vintage Images, offers a view into early images of immigrants being processed for entry to America:- Immigrants' First View of Ellis Island
