City of Lowell Passport Collection Index

"In order to obtain a work permit to work in the Textile Mills, immigrants were required to show identification. Passports were brought to local churches for translation and presented at City Hall."

"A collection of passports was found in the attic of City Hall and were indexed by the name on the passport. Names were often Anglicized during translation, and the changed names often appeared on translation documents affixed to the cover of the passports."

"The passports are primarily from the turn of the century and are representative of several countries and/or ethnic groups. Note: Many of these are from areas in Europe that have undergone significant changes. One example is the region of Galicya-Austria, Poland which is now Belarus. Another is the Greek island of Rhodes, where many Greek Orthodox residents were issued Italian passports under its occupation by Italy starting in 1912. Also, family passports were common, which are indexed under the name of the head of the household." -Lowell City Hall Archives

Below is the list names that were indexed and their corresponding index number.

The passport collection is housed at Lowell City Hall. For more information, please contact Kim Zunino at the Lowell Historic Board , 375 Merrimack Street, 2nd Floor, Room 55, Lowell, MA 01852, 978-674-4144 (P)
