There were no laws regulating emigration flows in Russia. The emigration was mostly illegal. Information should be sought primarily at the destination point. The main document for identifying emigrants in the United States was the list of passengers, which was compiled at the port of arrival and was written by hand. Since 1891 to 1957, these lists were called Immigration Passenger Lists. Personal information about each passenger included: full name, gender, age, marital status, specialty, last place of residence, purpose of arrival in the United States. The race included from 1903. Place of birth and other information have appeared since 1906. In 1907, the content was replenished with the name and address of the closest relative in the country from which the passenger is traveling. Until 1924, most of the emigrants arrived on Ellis Island, as Claes-Göran noted. Documents related to Russian emigration are kept in the US National Archives, the Library of Congress, the Archives of Russian Eastern European History and Culture at Columbia University, the Library of the Hoover Institute for War of Revolution and Peace, the Harvard and Other Universities Library, the Museum of Russian Culture in San Francisco, Museum and Archives of the Rodina Society, The State Archives of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Russian State Archives of Literature and Art (RGALI), the Russian Culture Foundation, the Russian Abroad Library-Foundation.
