The society provides lectures, exhibits, classes, community events, and other educational programs as part of its mission. In addition, the society's Kiplinger Research Library houses a collection of books, maps, photographs, and other materials relevant to the history of the city. Located in the center of Mount Vernon Square in Washington, the society occupies a Beaux-Arts building funded by Andrew Carnegie in 1902 (one of his many Carnegie libraries), originally used as the District of Columbia Public Library. The Columbia Historical Society, as it was called until 1988, was founded in 1894. The main role of the Society was to serve as a forum to present research, which was then published in the Records of the Columbia Historical Society. Condition: Fair in good dust jacket.
