Workshops

    Participate in a student or teacher workshop to learn more about National History Day, the annual theme and how to put together a great project.

    Contest Kickoff

    Join us at the National History Day Kickoff to learn about using primary sources, newspapers and archives to research your topic and explore the various ways to present your work: as an exhibit, a website, a documentary, a paper or a performance. You will also receive an overview of this year’s contest, theme and rules. The National History Day Kickoff is held each year in the fall.

    History Labs

    Get a jump start on your National History Day project and register for a History Lab this fall. History Labs are research open houses for students, teachers and parents to discover primary and secondary resources, special collections and to network with local librarians and historians. Each History Lab will start with an introduction to the library’s collection and provide a flexible time frame for attendees to explore. You are welcome to bring topic ideas and research materials to begin working on your project analysis.
