Everything About National History Day

National History Day is one of a form of national academic competition which concentrates on students, especially within the grades of 6 to 12 and gives them a chance to learn about history. Everything began being a small competition in 1974 in Cleveland. The key concept of National History Day was created by all of the people in the team of history at Case Western Reserve University to match up the concept of Science Fair.

During the coming years, National History Day spread to other places like Midwestern states and by 1980, it's grown into a national organization. It was in 1992, that this competition shifted its head office from Cleveland to Washington,D.C .

The National History Day California is an academic program that continues for one year and inspires students to get familiar with history on all the levels- local, state, national as well as the world. Students participating in National History Day California are usually asked to take up a historical topic that will relate with the annual theme of the program and for this; pupils have to do a lot of exploration making use of libraries, museums, archives and also by performing several oral history interviews. Students then required to access their research to get to results and hence, develop the final project on the particular matter. These finished assignments are then subjected to enter into a series of competition, from local to the national level in the history day program. A team of professional educators and historians conduct these assignments created by students.
