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.

“I am ... by tradition and long study a complete snob. P. Marlowe and I do not despise the upper classes because they take baths and have money; we despise them because they are phony.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
