Each year more than half a million students participate in the National History Day Contest. Students choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct primary and secondary research. You will look through libraries, archives and museums, conduct oral history interviews, and visit historic sites. After you have analyzed and interpreted your sources, and have drawn a conclusion about the significance of your topic, you will then be able to present your work in one of five ways as a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a website.
The regional contest is being held at Hofstra University on Sunday, March 31st,2019.
Papers must be mailed to the Long Island History Day Contest and be received by February 13th, 2019
Registration will be open Jan. 2-Feb. 13, 2019
