About the American Irish Historical Society
In 1897, the American Irish Historical Society was founded in Boston. The primary goal of the Society was to raise awareness of the accomplishments of the Irish in America, because at the time, many historians mistakenly believed that there were no Irish in America until the 1830s. The founders placed special emphasis on the role of Irish-Americans in the American Revolution.

The Society moved its headquarters to New York City in the early 20th century. From its home on Fifth Avenue, across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Society serves as a focal point of the contemporary transatlantic Irish experience, a place where current public issues are explored, where the story of the American Irish is studied and reviewed, and where the great renaissance in Irish culture is celebrated in lectures, concerts, performances, and art exhibits
