City History Society of Philadelphia
The Society was founded by C. Henry Keim in 1900 as the City History Club of Philadelphia and changed in 1906 to the City History Society of Philadelphia. The purpose was to interest the teachers of the city in local history, who in turn, would stimulate their students to understand the importance of Philadelphia. The society's activities included publication of lectures and more detailed histories of Philadelphia, as well as excursions. The Society dissolved in 1980.
