Louisiana History Day Handbook
The National WWII Museum serves as Louisiana's sponsor for National History Day
National History Day is a program that allows students to explore local, state, national, or world history through a research project that relates to an annual theme. The theme for 2012 is Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History. During the course of the research project, students investigate both primary and secondary sources. Students get up close and personal with history by exploring the words or thoughts of those who lived them as well as the interpretations of later scholars.
