For the most part, emigrants arriving in America after almost immediately journeyed inland, and authors, compilers and editors who have reported such lists have usually been more concerned with the final point of settlement than with the port at which these immigrants arrived.

These lists fall within two major groups, customs passenger lists and immigration passenger lists, depending upon whether they were transferred from the Bureau of Customs of the Department of the Treasury or from the Immigration and Natural- ization Service of the Department of Justice. Customs passenger lists, the majority of which have been micro- filmed, consist of original lists, copies of lists, abstracts of lists, and State Department transcripts.
The original lists were prepared by masters of vessels who were required by federal law to submit to the collectors of customs lists of passengers boarding their vessels at foreign ports. The collectors of customs were then required to furnish quarterly copies or abstracts of the originals to the Secretary of State who was to make a report to Congress at each of its sessions. The transcripts were apparently prepared by the State Department from 1 The phrase "Passenger Arrival Records" is used here in order to cover not only passenger lists and related indexes but also lists of aliens and cargo manifests.
The examination of passenger arrival records did not extend to records less than 50 years old because of restrictions on their use by the public.

There are no passenger arrival records in the National Archives for Pacific Coast ports. A fire of May 4 destroyed records of the port of San Francisco that had accumulated from when it was established as a port of entry of the United States. A fire of August 18 at Angel Island, California, destroyed lists of passengers arriving in San Francisco, As of 1 July all immigration passenger lists were in the fonn of negative microfilm only. Positive prints of the rolls reproducing such lists over 50 years old are being prepared for reference purposes.
The rolls reproducing such lists less than 50 years old are not avail- able for reference purposes. In addition to customs passenger lists and immigration passenger lists, passenger arrival records in the National Archives include lists of aliens, , for Salem and Beverly, Massachusetts, and cargo manifests, ca , for Alexandria, Virginia, and Phila- delphia, and fragmentary manifests for a few other ports for the same period.
Some cargo manifests contain names of passengers. Passenger arrival records in the National Archives also include card indexes to the names on some of the customs passenger lists and card and book indexes to the names on some of the immigration passenger lists. Many of these indexes have been microfilmed.
Micro- film copies of the card indexes to the names on some of the immi- gration passenger lists are occasionally illegible. Table B shows by name of port the dates covered by each type of index. As of 1 July all card indexes for both customs and immigration passenger lists were in the form of positive microfilm, except for the customs card indexes for the ports of New Bedford, Massachusetts, , and New Orleans, , and the immigration card index for Miami, Florida, 30 December - 23 February Of the book indexes to the immigration passenger lists, only those for the port of New York, , had been placed on positive microfilm as of 1 July The card indexes to the names on the passenger lists are arranged alphabetically by name of passenger.
The book indexes are arranged — with some variations — by name of steamship line, then by date of vessel arrival, and lastly by surname of passenger. The customs passenger lists and related indexes or microfilm copies of them are available for examination in the search rooms of the National Archives. As positive microfilm copies of the indexes to the immigration passenger lists are completed, they can likewise be examined in the search rooms of the National Archives provided all entries on each roll relate to lists over 50 years old.
The National Archives will search the customs passenger lists if, in addition to the name of the passenger and the port of entry, the requesting person supplies the name of the vessel and the approxi- mate date of its arrival or the name of the port of embarkation and the exact date of its arrival. It will also search the immigration pas- senger lists over 50 years old provided the information is needed for genealogical purposes 3 and provided the name of the passenger, the port of entry, the name of the vessel, and the exact date of arrival can be furnished.
