centuries. Our archives contain records that may be of interest to you because they are a part of your family history and testament to its endurance, or you may need documents for more practical reasons.</p> <p>Though the history of HIAS stretches to the 1880s, our archives are not complete all the way back. Our Microfilm Collections extend from 1909 for Records of Special Inquiry and from 1911 for Records of Arrival. Copies of case files are available beginning about 1940.</p> <h2>Request for HIAS Arrival Card</h2> <p>If you are searching for information about people were assisted by HIAS prior to 1940, we recommend a search for their HIAS Arrival Card.
