Atlas of the Immigrant
EN | Augustus F. Sherman: Atlas of the Immigrant is the book from Małgorzata Taraszkiewicz-Zwolicka.
In January 1895, Augustus F. Sherman (1865–1925) entered federal service in the Bureau of Immigration as a senior stenographer at Ellis Island. He was in charge of the station’s large clerical staff as well as its extensive correspondence and supervised immigrant appeals to the Commissioner made by those who had been excluded from entry by a board of special inquiry.
Sherman took photographs from about 1904 until 1924. He took photographs of families, groups, and individuals who were being detained either for medical reasons or for further interrogation. Sherman took more than 200 pictures and his photographs were used by immigration officials to promote the work of Ellis Island.*
The project was made on The Academy of Fine Arts Gdańsk, by the mentorship of Patryk Hardziej.

Januarja 1895 je Augustus F. Sherman (1865–1925) stopil v zvezno službo v Uradu za priseljevanje kot višji stenograf na otoku Ellis. Bil je zadolžen za veliko uradniško osebje postaje ter za obsežno korespondenco in nadzorovanje pritožb priseljencev, katerim vstop ni bil dovoljen.
Sherman je fotografiral od približno leta 1904 do leta 1924. Fotografiral je družine, skupine in posameznike, ki so bili pridržani bodisi iz zdravstvenih razlogov bodisi zaradi nadaljnjih zaslišanj. Sherman je posnel več kot 200 fotografij, priseljenski uradniki pa so njegove fotografije uporabili za promocijo dela otoka Ellis.*
Projekt je nastal na Akademiji za likovno umetnost v Gdańsku, pod mentorstvom Patryka Hardzieja.
