This marked the 20th year of the National
History Day
competition. The event was held in June at the University of Maryland, as it
is every year.
It was a fine year for California
students — 28 California entries made the finals. Of these, 17 went on to
win National History Day awards.
As stated in the Fall 1999 issue of the
California HISTORIAN, page 24: “National History Day is a nationwide
history study program which starts in local schools, giving local historical
societies an opening to promote the subject to youngsters. The competition
progresses through county, state and national levels.
“CCHS promotes History Day in California
by evaluating student work that won at county level and giving cash awards
for outstanding work on a theme in California history. This is where local
societies can play a big role. Go to your area schools. Tell administrators
and teachers about the program and offer your resources and research
knowledge. Give prizes.
“Your personal interest in students can
draw them into history — they are the future of your society, museums,
preservation, archaeology and genealogy.”
