Historical Note

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) was founded in 1836 in the United States as a movement of IrishCatholics in opposition to the growing atmosphere of anti-Catholicism in the United States. The AOH hadthe support of women but due to the secretive nature of the original group the women were not allowedto join and were mostly ignored. The women decided to form their own group. Originally the “Daughtersof Erin,” the group was founded in 1894 in Omaha, Nebraska. The name was changed in 1906 to theLadies Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and again in 1984 to the Ladies Ancient Order ofHibernians (LAOH).

The LAOH mission statement reads “While practicing friendship, unity and Christian charity, we willwork to strengthen our Roman Catholic faith, our country and our communities; and perpetuate thereligion, history, culture and traditions of our Irish heritage.” Their constitution outlines the goals ofpromoting not only friendship, unity, and Catholic charity but also assisting the people of Ireland inestablishing an Irish Republic that includes all thirty-two counties. The events, meeting minutes andvarious other items in this collection of the LAOH reflect these values and goals.

Members of LAOH must meet certain qualifications of membership. All LAOH members must bepracticing Roman Catholic women age sixteen or older, Irish by birth or descent, and a mother of anLAOH member or the wife or mother of an AOH member or the mother of a Junior Hibernian. LAOH hasdivisions and junior divisions in twenty-seven states across the United States. Each state has a variety ofdivisions with division leaders as well as a state board. The state boards report to the national board whichoversees all the LAOH divisions.

Listed below are the years in which divisions included in this collection were chartered:

Massachusetts: 1959; Pennsylvania: 1924; Ohio: 1904; New York: 1911; Virginia: 1971; Maryland:1913; Connecticut: 1921; New Jersey: 1916;
