The CCÉ North America collection of Irish music materials documents the history and activities of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in North America with reference to the activities of CCÉ in Ireland. The collection also reflects efforts by CCÉ North America members to preserve audio and video of performances of traditional Irish music, song, and dance in the United States and Canada.

The collection includes administrative records, branch profiles, and correspondence from CCÉ's branches in North America, as well as brief histories of the organization. It features promotional materials including brochures, photographs and reviews from CCÉ's annual North American concert tours. Additionally, it contains programs from CCÉ's annual North American Provincial Conventions, regional Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, and Fleadh Cheoil competitions in Ireland. Research materials include biographical sketches, interview transcripts, recordings, and sheet music manuscripts of Irish and Scottish music. While the collection includes music manuscripts from as early as circa 1920, the bulk of the materials date from the founding of CCÉ North America in 1972.
