development of
the Scottish Emigration Database enhances existing scholarship and
builds upon other initiatives funded through university and government
sectors in Europe and North America in order to make demographic
information from passenger lists available electronically for academic
analysis and public use. Comparative analysis can currently be
undertaken with seven online emigration databases: Irish Emigration Database (1845-70) Finnish Emigrant Register (1892-96 & 1899-1914) Hamburg Emigration Database (1850-1934) Norwegian Digital Inn - Emigration Database (1867-1929) Ellis Island Database (1892-1924) Canadian Immigration Database (1925-35) Danish Emigration Archives (1868-1908) There are relevant archival collections in: Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull Edinburgh Room, Edinburgh City Library Merseyside Maritime Museum The Mitchell Library, Glasgow National Maritime Museum The National Archives Norway Heritage SCAN: The Scottish Archive Network Digital Archive The Scottish Jewish Archives Centre Other online finding aids include: Moving Here (Commonwealth immigration into England, 1948-59) The Gazetteer for Scotland The Ships List (shipping miscellanea for genealogists) Maritime Timetable Images (source of several images on this website) What Passenger Lists are Online?
