Students

The University of Minnesota Libraries are happy to welcome you to campus and to our incredible resources for history research.

If you have questions about History Day topics, research or contest rules, contact the University of Minnesota History Day Graduate Assistant.

You can do some research from computers outside the U, but some resources, including some electronic databases, are accessible only on campus.

Teachers

The University of Minnesota Department of History supports History Day with a University of Minnesota History Day Graduate Assistant who is here to guide your students on visits to our campus libraries. You can schedule a tour or gain additional information before your visit by contacting the Graduate Assistant.

The staff of the Minnesota Historical Society, the University's Department of History and the University Libraries have put together information for high school teachers leading History Day projects in the schools. Some of that information was compiled for a January 2007 workshop and is available online: Helpful Resources For Teachers
