The Society is organized for the special study of the Irish element in
the composition of the American people; to investigate and record the
influence of this element in the upbuilding of the nation, and to
collect and publish facts relating to and illustrating that influence.
The Society aims to correct erroneous, distorted and false views of
history, where they are known, and to substitute therefor the truth of
history, based on documentary evidence and the best and most reasonable
tradition, in relation to the Irish in America.
