Buffalo Public Schools History Day

What is History Day? 
Buffalo Public Schools History Day, a year-long educational program sponsored by the Buffalo Public Schools Department of Social Studies and the Buffalo History Museum, it encourages students to explore local, state, national, and world history. After selecting a historical topic that relates to an annual theme, students conduct extensive research by using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. They analyze and interpret their findings, draw conclusions about their topics' significance in history, and create final projects that present their work. These projects can be entered into a series of competitions, from the local to the national level, where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators.
