Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.

Immigrant Families at Ellis Island

Augustus Frederick Sherman worked as a clerk on Ellis Island. During this time, between 1904 and 1925, he took about 250 photographs of the travelers coming through immigration. Often he would photograph immigrants that were being detained, ushering them out of the chaos of the main hall so the immigrants themselves would be the main focus.
