It publishes an annual Yearbook, and occasionally publishes other books and pamphlets. The organization grants awards of merit and distinction each year. It conducts outreach programs that range from talks to demonstrations to workshops, and it collaborates with educational institutions and many other historic organizations and individuals in Dutchess County. The Historical Society is funded through membership dues, the sales of its Yearbook and publications, solicitation of grants, and through philanthropic gifts and is a US tax exempt Charitable Organization.[6] HistoryAmong those eager to found such an organization at the time was Dutchess County resident Franklin D. Roosevelt. He laid out his vision for the Society in a letter dated December 10, 1914, mentioning a number of elements which came to fruition including an annual yearbook, occasional publications, and transcriptions of cemetery headstones.[7] And while other notables like the President's mother Sarah Delano Roosevelt and Vincent Astor remained involved in the Society,[8][9] its membership grew into the hundreds and involved a broad range of county residents. By early 1924, membership had grown to about 500.[10] John Mylod and Helen Wilkinson Reynolds were early organizers and active in collecting information for the society.[11] Reynolds, a researcher and author, served as Yearbook editor from 1921 until her death in 1943.[12] She worked with author J Wilson Poucher and photographer Margaret De M Brown on the 1924 publication of Old Gravestones of Dutchess County, New York, which catalogued 19,000 inscriptions.[13] CollectionsThe Collections include archival items, photographs, postcards, textiles,[14] diaries, will, deeds, needlework, clothing, genealogical information, and correspondence within its house museum.[15] Items include a portrait by Ammi Phillips of Helen Cornell Manney, whose birth family, the Cornells, were early settlers of the town of LaGrange. There is a collection of books, articles and private letters of historian and illustrator Benson Lossing, who was born in the town of Beekman, lived for some time in Poughkeepsie, and eventually built a home and library in Dover. The Hart-Hubbard Farm Records reflect two families' agricultural wholesale business across four generations from 1838 to 1967.[16] ProgramsThe Dutchess County Historical Society has a research library and exhibits. It holds events, such as lectures, guided tours, and community outreach.[14] They occur across Dutchess County often in partnership with the Dutchess County Historian[17] and local historical organizations.{{cn|date=June 2017}} PublicationsEach year it produces a yearbook and it occasionally publishes the Dutchess County Historical Society Collections and the Dutchess Historian.[18] The yearbook is the state's oldest continuing historical publication.[19] The inaugural issue, dated 1914-1915, included a copy of the Hudson Valley portion of the 1779 map, an article about the Society's first meeting was held, the initial reporting of local cemeteries, an article about Brick House Farm, early divisions of the county, and a membership list.[20] AwardsUp to four awards are given by the Historical Society each year. They are the Dutchess Award, the Helen Wilkinson Reynolds Award, the Franklin D Roosevelt Award, the Business of Historic Distinction Award.[21] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/114077788/?terms=Dutchess%2BCounty%2BHistorical%2BSociety |title=Historical Society Meets |date=June 29, 1914 |newspaper=Poughkeepsie Eagle-News |location=Poughkeepsie, New york|page=6|accessdate=June 8, 2017|via=newspapers.com|subscription=yes}} 2. ^{{cite book|author=U S Congress|title=Congressional Record, V. 150, PT. 18, November 18, 2004, to November 19, 2004|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dANTZWDDq5wC&pg=PA24078|date=October 2009|publisher=Government Printing Office|page=24078|id=GGKEY:5ZA9PCYJN5T}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Proceedings of the New York Historical Society|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QmtIAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA2-PA88|year=1846|publisher=Press of the Historical Society|page=88}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Don Foster|title=Author Unknown: On the Trail of Anonymous|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rspXAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT290|date=4 February 2014|publisher=Henry Holt and Company|isbn=978-1-4668-6425-2|page=PT290}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www2.guidestar.org/Profile/ViewPdf?ein=14-1505142 |title=Dutchess County Historical Society|website=Guidestar|accessdate=June 8, 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.irsexempt.com/141505142|title=Dutchess County Historical Society |website=IRS Exempt|date=March 8, 2017|accessdate=June 8, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://dchsny.org/fdr/ |title=FDR|website=Dutchess County Historical Society|accessdate=June 8, 2017 }} 8. ^{{cite book|author=Jan Pottker|title=Sara and Eleanor: The Story of Sara Delano Roosevelt and Her Daughter-in-Law, Eleanor Roosevelt|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r0x7AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA296|date=18 April 2004|publisher=St. Martin's Press|isbn=978-0-312-30340-2|page=296}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/115321578/ |title=Astor Helped His Country in Wartime |date=October 15, 1977 |newspaper=Poughkeepsie Journal |location=Poughkeepsie, New York|page=6|accessdate=June 9, 2017|via=newspapers.com|subscription=yes}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/114493984|title=Society Admits Many Members|newspaper=Poughkeepsie Eagle-News|date=February 12, 1924|page=5|accessdate=June 9, 2017|via=newspapers.com|subscription=yes}} 11. ^{{cite book|author1=Joyce C.
