COLUMBIA Magazine
COLUMBIA was created for people who want to experience Pacific Northwest history, not just
read about it. For over 20 years the magazine has featured lavishly illustrated articles on a wide
range of topics by leading writers and scholars in the field. Its pages bring history to life with
photographs, maps, drawings, paintings, and ephemera-often from the Society's own collections.
Published four times a year by the Washington State Historical Society, COLUMBIA examines
the continuing dialogue between past and present, and illuminates the relationship between local or
state history and the broader pattern of regional or national events. The magazine is free to
Society members, and is now also available by
subscription.
COLUMBIA Anthology
"Spanish Frigate 'Princesa' Off Neah Bay 1792", by Hewitt Jackson, d. 1960.
The
COLUMBIA Anthology is a digital primer on Washington State history written by some of
the most respected historians in the Northwest. It represents the best writing published in
COLUMBIA Magazine, from 1987-2007. This initial set of articles illuminates the diverse
accomplishments and challenges faced by Washingtonians from pre-encounter days to the present.
Additional COLUMBIA articles will continue to be added to the Anthology over time,
beginning in February, 2009.

Verizon Foundation, COLUMBIAKids brings a whole new twist to exploring Pacific Northwest history.
