Since its founding in 1894, the Historical Society has been publishing articles about the people and events in the city's past and present. Publications consist of:

The Records of the Columbia Historical Society (1894-1989). Published annually until 1989 and available in the Kiplinger Research Library. A listing of the table of contents for all volumes is available online.

Washington History (1989-present) is the only magazine devoted exclusively to the history of the nation's capital. Written and edited by distinguished historians and beautifully illustrated with fine and often rare images of the city, Washington History interprets Washington's past and the people who shaped that past. In addition to offering new scholarship on the history of the city, the award-winning Washington History also publishes book, film and exhibit reviews.
