Collection
Description: Founded and incorporated in 1988, we have more than 300 members. Through a varied program of activities, we seek to collect, share and pass along to others the rich, 350 year history and heritage of the Irish people of Connecticut.
We maintain archival collections and a library of books about Irish history, culture and genealogy at the Ethnic Heritage Center at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, CT. The library contains many aids for historical and genealogical research, such as a set of old New Haven city directories, New Haven school records, personal interest collections and family histories that have been donated to us by Irish people throughout Connecticut.
We interview and record on tape the recollections of senior citizens in the state's Irish community.
We have begun a program to microfilm the records of some of Connecticut's earliest Irish Catholic parishes.
