About

Welcome to Bayside Historical Society's archival collections on Omeka.net!

BHS’s archival repository is dedicated to making available to researchers of all ages primary source material, artifacts, real and personal property of historical interest, records, material and ephemera which document the continuing growth, development and activities of the communities in Northeast Queens.

Bayside Historical Society was founded in 1964 to collect, preserve, and disseminate information concerning the history of Bayside and its adjacent communities; advocate for the preservation and protection of its most historic structures and distinctive neighborhoods through the landmarking process; and strive to develop a broad constituency of like-minded preservation and educational organizations to protect the historic integrity of our communities and collections.
