- Page 4 - Historical Note
The Eire Society of Boston was founded in 1937 by a group of over eighty people that had attended a sixteen-lecture Irish history course organized by the Massachusetts Department of Education. The Society's stated goals were to "promote the knowledge of Irish culture through the encouragement of study in the arts, sciences, literautre, language, and history of Irleand" as well as highlighting Irish contributions to civilization via Society lectures, theatrical and musical productions, and publications. The Society sought to distinguish itself from existing Boston-area Irish cultural organizations such as the Charitable Irish Society by making its focus scholarly rather than charitable and social. The Society was open to both men and women, had no religiouos affiliation, and barred participation by anyone "holding or seeking" public office.
Long-running Eire Society programs and publications included a four-page newsletter, the Bulletin; a monthly winter lecture series from October-April; and an annual dinner, Gold Medal award for exemplification of Society ideals, and night at the Boston Pops. In addition to annual programming, the Society organized participation in local Irish cultural events and trips to Ireland; used Society funds to support Boston-area museum and library acquisitions of significant Irish artworks and special collections; and invited Irish artists to perform in the United States. Despite its early distinction as a cultural rather than charitable organization, the Society has also supported initiatives in Ireland including the arts, ecumenical groups, education, hospitals, and peace-seeking.

Subseries A: Bulletin, 1942-1995 Scope and Contents
Published on the average six times yearly since 1942, the Bulletin of the Eire Society is devoted to brief essays on a variety of Ireland-related topics. Initially, from 1942 to 1949, the Bulletin was used as a means of communication with members, presenting mostly Eire Society "news notes." From 1950 to the early 1960s the Bulletin reprinted articles of interest from current magazines and Irish documentary sources. It was also at this time that the Bulletin began presenting essays researched by its editorial staff. From the early 1960s to date there has been a more concerted effort to engage authors other than the editor to write original and more in depth material for publication in the Bulletin. Missing Bulletin numbers are: 1-1,2-1,2-2,3-1,4-1,4-2, and 4-4.
