Concannon, John & Ancient Order of the Hibernians Collection
Description
This is a collection of personal papers belonging to John Concannon, a New York City-area journalist and member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and other Irish-American organizations. These papers document both his personal and professional activities and his involvement with a variety of Irish-American organizations, especially the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The nature of these materials is related to Concannon’s role as a member or officer of these organizations, or as research done in the service of his writing projects. The collection includes a significant number of papers related to the Ancient Order of Hibernians at the national, state, county, and division level, with an emphasis on the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, National Board, and New York divisions. Note that these are not necessarily official records kept by the AOH, but rather documents created or received by John Concannon in his various member and officer roles.
