Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation is a nonprofit organization that preserves and communicates the experiences of Pacific Coast immigrants. It collects and safeguards the personal stories of thousands of immigrants and shares them with visitors and the broader public through education initiatives and public programs. Based in San Francisco, California, the foundation operates within the museums and historical sites sector, offering a lens on the complex history of immigration in the United States. Historically, Angel Island served as the West Coast counterpart to Ellis Island from 1910 to 1940, enforcing policies that excluded many Pacific Coast immigrants. In 2019, AIISF partnered with SecondStory to create an immersive museum experience for the public.
