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.

COLUMBIAKids Has Arrived!

The Washington State Historical Society is proud to announce a new, free online children's magazine called COLUMBIAKids, which launched in August 2008. Thanks to a grant from the Verizon Foundation, this new e-publication will bring a whole new twist to exploring Pacific Northwest history.

Written especially for kids up to age 14, COLUMBIAKids will feature amazing people, places, and objects from the Pacific Northwest's past. With exciting stories and special departments such as "One Day in History," "Homework Helper," and "Northwest Hotspot," COLUMBIAKids will not only be a great read for children, it will be a fabulous resource for teachers who want to integrate reading, writing, and Pacific Northwest history.
