The German Historical Institue was founded in 1987 as an independent nonprofit organization. In 2002, they joined the Max Weber Foundation, which coordinates an international network of humanities institutes. The GHI also has a Pacific Office in Berkley, CA. The team at GHI performs advanced research and publishes many papers in top peer-reviewed journals. The GHI has a non-lending reference library that anyone in the general public may access, although it is temporarily closed due to COVID-19.
The house that the GHI is currently located at was chosen as the headquarters for GHI in 1988. The building was built in 1911 for the Blairs, a wealthy DC family, designed by architect Jules Henri de Sibour.
