The Records Discover Center (RDC) is located within the National Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island. Visitors to the Center, which is run by the Foundation, can access an awe-inspiring Arrival Records Collection to find family members and notable historic figures who arrived in the United States from every part of the globe. Visitors can purchase archival prints of ship manifests and other interpretive offerings. The emotional journey of unearthing and connecting to family history has long been at the core of the Ellis Island experience.

The Records Discovery Center was recently renovated to expand access and engage more visitors. The Arrival Records Collection now has over 100 million records, from not only the Port of New York but also ports of entry across the U.S.

RDC staff provide customer service, research assistance, and sales help to tens of thousands of Ellis visitors from all over the world. The Assistant Manager is responsible for guiding staff and users, either on Ellis Island or on the Foundation’s website, in their search of immigrant records, as well as assisting in purchases/contributions.
