A new exhibit at the
Wyoming Historical and
Geological Society will
introduce visitors to the
trials and triumphs of the
immigrants who came to
live in the anthracite
region in the. late
nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. ‘‘To
Seek a New Life: The
Immigrant in Luzerne
County, 1870-1920’
features a variety of
objects and papers im-
portant to immigrants in
the workplace, their
religious life, and their
participation in labor
organizations and mutual
aid societies. It also
depicts the resistance
immigrants faced, and
efforts by businesses,
public schools, churches,
and private organizations
to assimilate the
newcomers ‘into
American society.
The exhibit includes
artifacts from the
Historical Society's
collection as well as items
from a number of other
organizations and
numerous private
collectors. Mining and
silk milling equipment
illustrate the back-
breaking labor faced by
women. Church lace,
embroidery, and objects
from a variety of small
businesses show im-
migrant craftsmanship,
and trace the entrance of
new Americans into the
business community.
Items such as money
orders used to send funds
to family in the old
country, and steamer
tickets sent home so
relatives “could be
reunited are reminders of
the wrenching experience
of migration and of the
transatlantic bonds that it
left. Pysanki, paintings,
.and contest prizes show a
few of the ways in which
«immigration has enriched
America.
Individuals such as
Father Joseph Murgas,
an dccomplished painter
and naturalist, and who
patented his early
discoveries concerning
radio transmission are
represented in the exhibit.
So, too, is Rev. John J.
Curran, first’ pastor of
Holy Savior parish,
Wilkes-Barre, and active
labor negotiator and
temperance advocate.

and organizations which
have contributed to the
exhibit are Herman
Funke and Sons, King's
College, Panam Silk
Mills, the Pennsylvania
Anthracite Museum, and
the Polish Room Com-
mittee of Wilkes College.
