About Us
Through research projects, exhibits, documentaries, and more, The Khayrallah Center documents the stories of Lebanese immigrants in the U.S. and abroad.
Our Mission
The Khayrallah Center is the leading global institution dedicated to the study of historical and contemporary Lebanese immigration across social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions.
Our goal is to preserve and share the history of Lebanese immigrants worldwide and disseminate our research, archives, and resources to scholars and the people of the Lebanese diaspora.
Preserving the past. Enriching the present. Shaping the future.
Our History
In 2010, Dr. Moise A. Khayrallah funded a pilot project to research, preserve, and publicize the history of the Lebanese in North Carolina. This initiative led to the production of a PBS documentary, a museum exhibit, and the establishment of an archive.
Building on this foundation, Dr. Khayrallah endowed a center to advance the same goals in the United States and beyond. Thus, the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies was established in 2014 as a research and outreach center for the production and dissemination of knowledge about Lebanese immigration to the United States and around the world.
