Sun Journal reports on Maine National History Day winners
The Sun Journal reported on Maine National History Day held at the University of Maine in April. More than 260 students from 30 middle and high schools showcased exhibits, papers, websites, documentaries and performances based on their original research. The 173 entries in the statewide contest are the most since the event began to be hosted at UMaine five years ago, according to the article. Awards were presented in several categories, and the top state winners are eligible to compete in the national contest in June. Maine National History Day is a partnership among the UMaine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Education and Human Development, and the Margaret Chase Smith Library, with support from the UMaine Humanities Center, Maine Humanities Council and the Maine Historical Society, the article states.
