Description: The impact of migration is often underestimated in history teaching, with little or no attention paid to the role of immigrants and emigrants in the history of the community.
The aim of this website, run by the History Department at Leiden University, is to help reseachers and students who want to study European migration movements by providing them with a framework and with documents and information about sources on migration. The site uses a chronological framework and analyses each historical period in terms of

1. Description of migration movements
2. Causes of migration
3. Consequences of migration
4. Reactions to migration
