The Great Migration Study Project is an ongoing scholarly endeavor to catalogue all emigrants to colonial New England between 1620 and 1640 (the Puritan great migration). Directed by Robert Charles Anderson, it is done in collaboration with the New England Historic Genealogical Society.
The project's first series, covering immigrants from 1620 to 1633, is entitled The Great Migration Begins. It is three volumes and was completed in 1995. Publication of the second series, covering 1634 and 1635, and comprising seven volumes, was finished in 2011. It is entitled The Great Migration. Anderson edits the series, with two co-editors working on the first two volumes in the latest series, George Freeman Sanborn and Melinde Lutz Sanborn.
Famous quotes containing the words study and/or project:
“They should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
