The American Immigrant Wall of Honor celebrates the peopling of America through the names of individuals and families inscribed for posterity as gifts of remembrance through donations made to restore and maintain Ellis Island. The circular wall contains over 500,000 names and measures 262 feet across and 664 feet in length. The straight wall contains 56,000 names and is 213 feet in length. There are three separate alphabetical listings: names registered before 1993 on panels 7-484, names registered between 1993 and 1995 on panels 485-579, and names registered between 1995 and 1998 on panels 581-650. Individual entries and their exact panel locations can be found in a computerized register located in the museum.
