Connecticut History Day is an affiliate of National History Day, a yearlong academic program in which middle and high school students conduct research on historical topics of interest.
Student researchers may choose to enter into one of five Connecticut History Day categories as an individual or within a group: performance, website, research paper, documentary or exhibit.
Students who place within the top three spots in each category compete in the Connecticut History Day State Contest taking place April 30 at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain.
Connecticut History Day is led by Connecticut’s Old State House in downtown Hartford, with support from the Connecticut League of History Organizations and Connecticut Humanities’ website, Connecticuthistory.org.
