The website of the Society for Irish Latin American Studies is full of information about Irish migration to Latin America. It's divided into four sections:
The Homeland, about the
origins of the settlers;
The Journey, about how the Irish settlers traveled to Latin America, including the infamous
Dresden affair;
The Settlement, about the lives of the Irish in Latin America;
Faces and Places, which has biographies of a wide variety of people,
Mateo Banks, family murderer,
Camila O'Gorman, executed lover of a priest,
William Lamport, 17th Century revolutionary and
Bernardo O'Higgins, Chilean independence leader, who gets a whole subsection to himself. There is also a
list of Irish placenames and much else of interest to history nerds.

The United Nations Refugee Agency has a
Flickr page with nearly 3000 photos neatly sorted into
over 150 sets, most often by country, though sometimes by other themes, such as
photos taken by refugee children,
life in a refugee camp and
mixed migration. There are also
news sets, sorted by month. Some of the countries featured are ones that many associate with humanitarian disasters,
Timor-Leste,
Iraq and
The Democratic Republic of Congo, but there are also photosets from countries that few associate with refugees,
Panama,
Hungary and
France.
