An Cartlann Gael-Mheiriceánach, no. 1

An Cartlann Gael-Mheiriceánach (or, The American-Irish Recorder) is a new publication made by the American Irish Historical Society through New York University. It is a journal of archival research, published twice annually. The American Irish Historical Society, founded in Boston in 1897, was created to share the story of Irish immigrants whose experiences were neglected from the focus of American historians. To expand this narrative, AIHS built a collection of materials related to this story, housing them in their headquarters. Since settling in New York, these collections have expanded to tell the untold stories of Irish-Americans and their descendants. AIHS has published two journals in their history, including The Recorder: The Bulletin of the American Irish Historical Society (1939-2017). This journal (an expansion of The Recorder) continues that mission by highlighting the archival research of AIHS interns, uncovering other hidden stories in our archives at 991, 5th Avenue.
