This guide collates resources from locations across the District that will aid teachers and students in conducting research for National History Day in DC.

About the Theme

The annual National History Day® contest theme is designed to help you think of a topic from any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history. With this focus, you can begin to ask questions that your research will help you answer, including how your topic is significant in history. This year’s theme invites you to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance.
