Students are welcome at Historical Society programs. Some lectures may provide background for a shcool project; geneaology workshops can help you learn about your family's history. Document displays give you a chance to see rare materials up close.

 Are you in 6th-12th grade? Like history? Want to involved in an exciting educational competition? Then check out National History Day. You can participate as part of a class, club, home school or as small group. And HSP is here to help along the way. |
 For help with homework or research projects, don't forget to see if your topic is covered in the History Online section of this website. We have pulled together primary sources by subject - such as the Underground Railroad or the Civil War - and created online exhibits. We post transcriptions here as well as audio- and video-casts of past programs. We might just have something you could use! |
 Struggling with what is a primary source? How to cite it as a source? How to evaluate the accuracy of a source found on the web? This American Library Association site provides students and teachers excellent resources. |
