About
Founded in 1958, Irish Georgian Society is a charity based in Dublin, Ireland working on heritage, arts & culture, education.
The Irish Georgian Society is a membership organisation founded in 1958 to promote awareness of and protection of Ireland's architectural heritage, designed landscapes, gardens and decorative arts. It works through scholarly and conservation education programmes, grants and support for conservation projects, campaigning for endangered buildings, and a members' events programme. Its headquarters are in the City Assembly House in Dublin, with chapters in Birr/Midlands, Cork and Limerick, and further chapters in London, Chicago, New York and Palm Beach. The Society operates in Ireland and supports conservation work across the island, with its Irish Georgian Foundation serving as the legal, financial and administrative body. Its activities are open to members and, in many cases, to non-members.
