We all have objects and tales that tell stories of where we’ve come from and what’s shaped our lives. For many of us, that involves our family’s stories of migration and immigration.

Sharing your own personal migration history can help us to tell a really big story - the story of Europe and the people who live here. We invite you to share your story - through objects like pictures, letters, postcards or recipes - with Europeana Migration, by visiting https://migration.europeana.eu/share
These objects are important parts of your heritage. Recording and digitising them is easier than you might think. Once it’s done, they will become part of the Europeana Migration Collection.
Your story is part of Europe’s rich and shared history of migration, and now it can be recorded for the future, and made freely available for anyone to discover and use for education, research, inspiration and pleasure.
Here are some of the stories that have been shared so far.
