The Irish American Archives Society was formed in 1994 to preserve and present information about the history of the Irish in Cleveland. IAAS is a not-for profit organization that sponsors a newsletter, website, podcast, talks, displays, publications, and heritage events and supports the collection and preservation of papers, documents, photographs and memorabilia of individuals and families of Irish descent and the records of organizations and institutions that have influenced the growth and development of the Irish American community in northeast Ohio. As the Society’s Executive Director since 2008, Margaret Lynch has developed and presented talks, displays, and walking tours about the history of the Irish in Cleveland and family history research. She authored the book The Day We Celebrate: 175 Years of Cleveland's St. Patrick's Day Parade (2017) and an article in the anthology Irish Famines Before and After the Great Hunger (2020).
