Cultural Institution Partnerships

When Delaware Historical Society works with National History Day teachers and students, we always come prepared with topic suggestions, resources, and recommendations!

Each year, National History Day puts out a theme for student projects to guide their research and analysis. Themes are intentionally broad to make room for individual creativity and analysis, but they can impact topic selection! This year’s theme is Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas.
