More than 300 students from public and private schools across the state participated in Hawai‘i History Day’s State Fair on Saturday, April 14. The fair showcased 214 projects in five categories: essay, display, website, documentary, and performance. Fifty students advanced to compete with peers across the nation as well as China, Korea and Southeast Asia at the
National History Day Contest, June 10-14 at the University of Maryland at College Park. A full list of state winners and special awards winners can be found on the Hawaiʻi Council for the Humanities’ History Day website at
https://www.hi-nhd.org/state-qualifiers and can also be viewed below.
History Day’s annual theme this year was “Conflict and Compromise in History.” Through their projects, students had to develop a thesis, supported by an annotated bibliography sorted into primary and secondary sources while adhering to the theme. Students then had to present their projects to show their interpretation of a historical event, its historical significance and impact.
Hawai‘i History Day is an affiliate of the National History Day program that reaches over 850,000 students from around the nation each year. History Day projects are judged by historians from the universities and colleges, museums and historical societies and leaders from the community and include subjects in local, state, national and world history.
