National History Day<\/a> is more than a day; it is a process, a creative outlet, and a confidence-building experience. This is an opportunity to think beyond the textbook in your social studies classroom and develop a memorable project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 51ÁÔÆæ Archives offers in-person and virtual instruction and research assistance for NHD students. Teachers who want to bring a group of students to the 51ÁÔÆæ Archives for NHD research should consult our Reference and Instruction Archivist, Abbi Nye<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why come to the 51ÁÔÆæ Archives?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We offer individualized research assistance for NHD students, whether their topics are related to Wisconsin history or not. Working with archivists can help students to expand or develop their bibliographies; many teachers who bring groups of students to the 51ÁÔÆæ Archives provide student topics in advance so that the Archives staff can gather grade-appropriate physical and digital primary sources for the students. During visits, we present a brief introduction to analyzing primary sources and then work directly with students in hands-on research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
