APPENDIX B

Checklist of Passenger List Publications¹

Given below is a list of the principal passenger list publications 
mentioned in this book in the text and notes. It is not a bibliography (for which see
Filby), but merely a checklist of the key books and articles underpinning
the narrative. Since it includes most of the important publications that 
have so far been developed from passenger and immigration records, it is hoped
that it can be used as a guide to basic books. Several books not cited in 
the text but important enough to be featured in a list of basic books are also
included. Many of the passenger lists published in books and articles
mentioned in this work can be located in the various compilations by Carl
Boyer and Michael Tepper which are noted below.
