Preserving Histories, Sharing Stories

The Khayrallah Center is dedicated to research about Lebanese immigrants in the US and throughout the world, and to preserving and sharing that knowledge with the scholarly community and general public.

Fihris.org

Fihris is the first Artificial Intelligence model to automatically and accurately transcribe handwritten Arabic manuscripts into digital text. It is also the first full-text searchable Arabic manuscript archive, boasting features including non-Arabic language search capabilities and full translation from Arabic into English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

With Fihris, students, the general public, and scholars alike will be able to read and utilize Arabic archival material easier than ever before, providing them access to invaluable memories and pieces of history.
