 Historical or Biographical Note

Ruth Ann Overbeck founded Washington Perspectives, Inc. (W.P.I.) in 1975. The purpose of the organization as stated in the articles of incorporation was " to conduct research, plan, and implement various cultural, historical, social and education programs, including, but not limited to, conducting guided tours, preparing historical and other reports, and to carry out any other activities within the general scope of the above." The diversity of projects within this collection demonstrates that the firm achieved this purpose.

Most of the success of W.P.I. is attributable to Ruth Ann Overbeck. Ruth Ann first visited Washington, D.C. in the 1950s while still in high school in Texas. She attended college in Texas, but always planned to return to Washington. She did this in 1968, purchasing a house on Capitol Hill, and living in that home until her death in April 2000.

Ruth Ann's work as a historic preservation consultant and as the president of W.P.I. earned her a reputation as a thoughtful and dedicated scholar. She wrote numerous articles and worked on many reports for the D.C. government and community agencies. She conducted numerous walking tours of D.C., founded the preservation trust, a façade easement trust, and served on many boards including Friendship House Association, Inc. and Capitol Hill Restoration Society. One of her final acts as an historian was to be interviewed for an oral history project about her experiences researching, working, and living in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Ruth Ann had planned to write a book about Capitol Hill, but did not have the opportunity. The oral history project was her way to record her vast knowledge of Capitol Hill and Washington D.C. history and make it accessible to researchers.

The donation made in April 2000, followed by another accretion June 2003, to the George Washington University of these historical records represents Ruth Ann and Robert Hughes' efforts to accomplish the same objective. This collection and the work that will certainly come from its use by researchers is a fitting tribute to Ruth Ann Overbeck and allows her contribution to Washington history to continue.

 Collection Scope and Content

The material in this collection is a terrific representation of the breadth and depth of work done by Ruth Ann Overbeck as a historian in D.C. for thirty years. The collection has material for many projects from house histories for individual homeowners to a survey of the Upper Cardozo Columbia Heights neighborhood with oral histories and surveys of buildings such as the Tivoli Theater.

The collection will prove to be extremely useful for researchers exploring topics related to Washington, D.C. history. The D.C. Research Subseries within the Research Materials Series primarily includes notes, citations, and photocopies gathered by Ruth Ann and other W.P.I. employees for specific research projects. Often times the final product especially the house histories is included in the folders.

The collection does not contain much information about the administrative side of W.P.I. Series VII: W.P.I. Administration Records does have a small amount of financial records, but it is clearly only a sampling. The research records, however, do provide a picture of the types of projects undertaken by W.P.I. and the methods and efforts used by Ruth Ann Overbeck and the other W.P.I. historians.

The bulk dates for the collection material range from approximately 1970 through 1995. The collection measures 46 clamshells, 1 oversize box, and 23 map tubes. The total size is approximately 28 linear feet. The collection is arranged in seven series. Within each series the material is arranged alphabetically by folder title. The house histories are arranged by address.

This series includes maps, plats, and blueprints collected as part of broader research efforts. The maps often match the topics in Series VI and were most likely products of that research. The processor placed these items in a separate series because of the storage needs of rolled and oversize items. File units 44-66 in this series are map tubes holding rolled items.
