The Irish Experience in New York City is an extensive research guide to non-archival sources on the history of the Irish in New York. The diversity of subjects represented in this bibliography makes it easier for students of the Irish in New York - an important ethnic group in America's premiere urban center - to plan their research or to uncover gaps in the literature that still wait for a scholar.

Nearly seven hundred entries include unpublished materials such as Master's theses and doctoral dissertations, as well as published articles, chapters, books, and videos. A variety of disciplines, such as History, Sociology, Public Law, Economics, Political Science, Journalism, English, and Urban Studies are represented, as are subjects ranging from the Irish in the clothing industry and the military, to neighborhood and parish histories, and personal memoirs. The majority of the entries are annotated. Author and subject indices are included.
