National History Day Arizona
Education and Outreach Programs: The Arizona Historical Society (AHS) is the institutional sponsor and state coordinator for National History Day (NHD) in Arizona. NHD is a year-long program focused on historical research, analysis, and creative expression for 6th-12th grade students. The experience culminates in a series of contests at the local and state levels and an annual national competition in the nation's capital in June. With NHD, the students become the historians, building their critical thinking skills, analytical abilities, and confidence. NHD-AZ provides workshops, teacher and judge training, history education resources, and project consultation from staff historians and librarians. Overall, we serve thousands of students in the state. The Outreach program serves 68 Certified Historical Institutions across the state of AZ through grants, museum workshops, history presentations, publications, technical assistance, networking opportunities, and the 'Al Merito" award. The program awarded 23 grants to Certified historical Institutions in AZ this year totaling $32,893. It is a centralized resource for educators and parents looking to share AZ history with their students and children. It is a place to find recordings of programs and digital resources of the AHS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$234.9KArizona History Museums
