| 520 | |a The Scotch-Irish Foundation was founded in 1949 by the Scotch-Irish Society of the U.S.A. “to collect and preserve for public, educational, and research use, books, documents, family histories, letters, journals, and historical material relating to the origin and history of the Scotch-Irish people in the United States, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Scotland, and elsewhere.” Its collection spans over a century, from 1896 to 2001. However, most of the material dates from the 1950s to the mid 1990s. This collection contains, in addition to the records of the Foundation, those of the Scotch-Irish-Society of the U.S.A and its predecessor, the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish Society. There are membership files, family registrations and genealogies, correspondence, financial material, administrative files (most of which pertain to their annual dinners), clippings, audio-visual items, and printed materials covering topics such as the early history of the Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish Society and the history of the Scotch-Irish in America. | ||
