Immigrants' Protective League (Chicago, Ill.)
The Immigrants Protective League was founded in 1908 by Hull-House residents to help immigrants adjust to their adopted country. The League conducted research studies of the conditions of Chicago's immigrants. It also offered such services as aid with immigration documents, re-uniting families, referral to social service agencies, and adult education classes. The League also investigated and exposed cases of exploitation of new immigrants. The Immigrant's Protective League has existed in several forms over the years becoming the Traveler's Aid Society then the Heartland Alliance. Please see the finding aid for a complete history of the organization.
