Welcome to History Day in Connecticut!

                                   




History Day in Connecticut is a program for students in grades 6-12 that encourages them to explore local, state, national, and world history. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct extensive research using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. They analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. These projects can be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to the national level, where professional historians and educators evaluate them.
