Historical Society of Washington D.C.

Such a vast amount of information exists at this seemingly small archive. A little room with four tables and a few computers currently houses the Historical Society of Washington D.C. One might find themselves alone in this space surveying dusty photos, or rare records. It is therefore fortunate that the Historical Society of Washington D.C. has included a search engine on their website. It is convenient to be able to find documents relevant to the Washington D.C. African American from home. This archives houses the family papers of many early 20th century African American elites.
