The theme narrative for the 2022-2023 National History Day competition is "Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas."
"National History Day is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation and creative expression for 6th- to 12th-grade students. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights and artists as they create unique contemporary expressions of history. The experience culminates in a series of contests at the local and affiliate levels and an annual national competition in the nation's capital in June."
The Science History Institute is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We are a museum, library, and center for research focused on the history of science with the core of our collections dealing with the history of chemistry and related topics.
