From a meeting at the storied bar of the Willard Hotel, through speeches from presidents and other world leaders, to battles over the admission of women and blacks, the National Press Club has been a Washington institution since its founding in 1908.

Beginning March 31, the Club will celebrate its 100 years of history with events that culminate with a gala on April 5.

The NPC compiled an array of historic moments in the Club's life to assist reporters and editors working on articles related to the Club during its Centennial.
