It may seem like a very unlikely place, but Phoenix, Arizona is the home to a valuable Irish genealogical resource: The Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library. Here is a description of the McClelland Library from the website:

The McClelland Library is a Special Library dedicated to the legacy of Irish authors, history, literature and research of a Celtic nature. The library, a division of the Irish Cultural and Learning Foundation, is an affiliate of the Phoenix Public Library. All of our print holdings can be found within the Phoenix Public Library’s online catalog. The three-story McClelland Library houses over 8,000 published materials, in various form, from Irish authors, poets, and genealogical sources. 

Items within the collection are available for public access and use during regular library opening hours. The McClelland Library’s circulating collection is available for checkout to Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library members in good standing with a McClelland Library card. All materials are accessible to non-members on library premises.

In addition, the Irish Cultural Center hosts the Frances H. McClelland Genealogy Research Centre.
