Welcome to New York State History Day! Each year, National History Day® frames students’ research within a historical theme. The theme is chosen for broad application to world, national, or state history and its relevance to ancient history or to the more recent past. The NHD 2022-2023 theme is Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas. Please review this site carefully and check it regularly for new updates about how to participate during the 2022-2023 school year.
