American Irish Historical Society

The American Irish Historical Society Museum is located in New York City. The Society was founded in 1897 to inform the world of the achievements of the Irish in America. It is now a national scholarship and culture society. Since its inception on Fifth Avenue in New York (opposite the Metropolitan Museum of Art), the company acts as a focal point of the contemporary transatlantic Irish experience, a place to explore current public issues, and where the great renaissance in Irish culture takes place in lectures, concerts, art exhibitions and literary magazines. Non-partisan and non-sectarian since
