DAR Manual for Citizenship

From as early as 1910, the DAR has helped immigrants become naturalized citizens. For more than 85 years, the DAR has compiled and published the DAR Manual For Citizenship (PDF). More than 12 million copies of this book were distributed free of charge to immigrants seeking American citizenship. The manual is now provided online.

In 2004, the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services used the DAR Manual for Citizenship as a guide when creating their new study materials for citizenship.

The manual continues to be useful for those studying to become citizens, and for students learning about U.S. citizenship and immigration. Classrooms may use it as a tool to inform students what new citizens must learn before becoming a naturalized citizen.

The manual covers topics such as: the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Democracy, U.S. government, role of citizens, the U.S. Flag, Statue of Liberty and becoming a citizen.

DAR members at Ellis Island volunteered with recent immigrants and at the Marine Hospital.

Today, DAR members across the country continue to help immigrants become naturalized citizens as well as celebrate their achievements by participating in naturalization ceremonies in their local communities.
