The Fundación Consejo España–EE. UU. presents the new website for ‘Invisible Immigrants. Spaniards in the U.S. (1868–1945)’, a digital space designed to keep alive and continue sharing a project that recovers the largely unknown history of Spanish emigration to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The new platform, available at www.emigrantesinvisibles.com, offers an opportunity to explore the exhibition and the stories of its protagonists through a range of content, including an overview and tour of the exhibition, detailed information on its six chapters, its history and evolution, the official catalogue —Latálogo—, as well as press materials and contact information.

The website provides a new window into a project that began in Madrid in 2020 and subsequently travelled to Gijón and Almería, where more than 30,000 people had the opportunity to discover the stories of thousands of Spaniards who crossed the Atlantic in search of new opportunities. In 2025, ‘Invisible Immigrants’ crossed the Atlantic itself, opening in the United States at the Tampa Bay History Center, where it welcomed more than 15,000 visitors over five months.

The exhibition is the result of more than a decade of research by its curators, James D. Fernández and Luis Argeo, who brought together an archive of more than 15,000 photographs, documents, objects and home movies preserved by the families and descendants of those emigrants. More than 300 items from this extensive archive were selected to create an exhibition organised into six chapters: Adiós, ¡A trabajar!, Living la vida, Se organizaron, Solidaridad y discordia and Made in USA.

Beyond the figures, ‘Invisible Immigrants’ seeks to recover the personal stories behind this diaspora: Asturians working in the coal mines of West Virginia, Andalusians in the fields of Hawaii and California, Basques in Idaho and Nevada, Cantabrians in the quarries of Vermont, Galicians and Valencians in New York, and Spanish communities involved in the cigar industry in Tampa. A shared family and collective memory that, thanks to the collaboration of hundreds of descendants, has been brought to light and made part of the shared history between Spain and the United States.

The new website brings together the exhibition’s journey and key milestones as it continues its journey across the United States.
