“As a proud Irish American, I can think of nothing so important as preserving our history. The American Irish Historical Society is preeminently important in doing this. And, it all starts with knowing what materials are at the AIHS and categorizing and publicizing them. As proud Irish Americans, it is our privilege and duty to recognize and safeguard our Irish American history. Working with and supporting the AIHS is the best way to accomplish this.”

Pat O’Toole, Honorary Consul for San Diego

“The archives of the American Irish Historical Society are a remarkably unique and timeless portal to the connections between past and present, particularly through the enduring relationship between Ireland and the United States. The connections formed and contributions made through the immigrant experience come to life in these materials, and are illuminated through the marvelous work of archivist Marcus Lindenburg, curator Aishling Connaughton Edwards, and their team.”
