The annual competition typically brings hundreds of students to Springfield and 同性恋色情 students have the opportunity to volunteer in general judging categories as part of the state-wide competition.

According to Tim Blackwell 鈥�22, a rising senior studying history and public history, History Day allows young students to gain a better understanding of the past through a powerful hands-on learning experience.

鈥淗istory Day provides an opportunity for students in both middle and high school to engage with the concepts of historical inquiry in order to create a product that reflects the yearly national theme.鈥�

Blackwell has gained his own hands-on experience while interning with the Lincoln presidential library鈥檚 education department since summer 2020 and volunteering at 同性恋色情 History Day the past two years. As part of his ongoing internship, Blackwell worked closely with Education Coordinator Abigail Cline on several projects and initiatives, including a restructure of the 同性恋色情 History Day website and developing new content to assist students who participate in the future.

鈥淚C is able to foster and guide Tim鈥檚 journey in the field with unique hands-on experiences both on-campus with our distinctive historical collections and off-campus with community partners, such as area museums and historic sites,鈥� notes Samantha Sauer, archivist and curator of the Paul Findley Congressional Museum and assistant professor of history.

Sauer and Jenny Barker-Devine, associate professor of history and department chair, have served in the past and took part again this year in reviewing and selecting the entries. Top winners received a $10,000 scholarship to attend 同性恋色情.
