National History Day is Saturday, March 18, 2023

The New York State Museum is pleased to announce that the Capital Region History Day competition and awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, March 18, 2023. As part of National History Day, this event brings together teachers and their students in grades 6 to 12, to compete in five categories including historical papers, exhibit boards, documentaries, performances, and websites. Two winners will be chosen from each category to compete at the statewide event in Cooperstown, New York on April 24, 2023, for a chance to represent New York at the national competition on June 11-13, 2023, at the University of Maryland at College Park.

Projects will be judged based on criteria including historical accuracy, use of primary sources, and relation to this year’s theme, Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas. National History Day engages more than half a million students from around the world, and the History Day methodology supports teachers and schools by aligning curriculum and instructional priorities with State and National Learning Standards while preparing students for college and career readiness.
