In the spring of 1979 a very small group of Irish Charlestonians, excited by a wealth of local genealogical and historical information, yet frustrated by the fragmentation of personal and cultural information in the Irish community, decided to take the initiative and fill a void. The South Carolina Irish Historical Society was born of need and the response by the Irish Community has demonstrated that this need is now being fulfilled.
The purpose of the Society is three fold:
1. To promote and preserve the Irish Heritage in South Carolina.
2. To provide a repository for information and items of significance to the South Carolina Irish Community.
3. To promote an opportunity for good fellowship among all segments of the Irish community.
