Immigrants
Scope Notes
For works discussing emigrants from a particular place, an additional heading is assigned to designate the nationality of origin of the emigrant group and the place to which they have immigrated, e.g. [Chinese--United States; Americans--Foreign countries.]
Here are entered works on foreign-born persons who enter a country intending to become permanent residents or citizens. Works on persons who change their place of residence from one locality to another within the borders of a single country are entered under [Internal migrants.]
This heading may be locally subdivided by names of places where immigrants settle.
