The Washington Street Historical Society (WSHS), founded in 2013, is dedicated to restoring the history of the earliest Arabic-speaking community in the United States, which thrived on Washington Street in Lower Manhattan during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through education and awareness initiatives, WSHS aims to highlight the significance of this once-vibrant neighborhood, known as the Syrian Quarter, in the broader narrative of American history.

WSHS offers a range of projects, including the Al Qalam Touring App, which provides a bilingual virtual tour of the historic Syrian neighborhood, featuring archival photos, videos, and essays. The organization also hosts events and maintains a library of resources to commemorate the contributions of the Arab immigrant community to the cultural fabric of New York City.
