For many years the Shanachie was a printed quarterly publication of the Connecticut Irish-American Historical Society.
The Shanachie, which means "storyteller" in Irish, contained articles about the history of Connecticut's Irish, genealogical ideas and tips, and notices of the Society's activities.
While the Shanachie is no longer being published, past issues are available on Sacred Heart University's Digital Commons.

The Irish experience has had a profound impact on Connecticut's past, and its narrative spans all periods of the state's history and touches every one of its eight counties and 169 towns.
